Scanning Electron Microscopy for Undergraduate Student Research and Instruction in Biology

扫描电子显微镜用于本科生的研究和生物学教学获得扫描电子显微镜将促进本科生的教学和研究。高级顶石经验、独立研究调查、荣誉研究和选定的实验室课程将受益于扫描电子显微镜的能力。我们的课程现在将包括一门新课程，扫描电子显微镜入门。在学生研究和课堂/实验室调查中都将强调解决问题的方法。通过教学能力提升的系目标包括：1)改善本科教育；2)提高学生的顶尖水平和研究经验；3)进一步发展学生的批判性思维、量化和分析能力。样品制备所必需的临界点干燥器和带真空泵的溅射镀膜机也包括在请求中。

Scanning Electron Microscopy for Undergraduate Student Research and Instruction in Biology Acquisition of a scanning electron microscope will enhance undergraduate education and research. The senior capstone experience, independent research investigations, Honors research, and selected laboratory courses will benefit from SEM capabilities. Our course offerings will now include a new course, Introduction to Scanning Electron Microscopy. Problem-solving approaches will be emphasized in both student research and classroom/laboratory investigations. The departmental goals which will be advanced through SEM capabilities include: 1) the improvement of undergraduate education 2) the enhancement of student capstone and research experiences, 3) and further development of critical thinking, quantitative and analytical skills of students. A critical point drier and a sputter coater with vacuum pump, essential for specimen preparation are also included in the request.
