Scanning Electron Microscope for the Improvement of Multidisciplinary, Undergraduate Laboratory Instruction

扫描电子显微镜（SEM），具有能量色散 X射线微区分析系统正在用于培养本科生 学生在生物学，化学，和 地质学在使用和应用这些仪器。 的 二次应用将是提高能力， 本科生完成独立研究 校园此外，SEM和微分析系统将 开发的方式，以增加吸引力和保留 对科学和非科学学位感兴趣的学生 在这个四年制，本科，少数民族课程， 机构。

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) with an energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis system is being used to train undergraduate students in upper-level laboratories of biology, chemistry, and geology in the use and application of these instruments. The secondary application will be to improve the abilities of undergraduate students to accomplish independent research on campus. In addition, the SEM and microanalysis system will be developed in a way to increase the attraction and retention of students interested in the science and non-science degree programs at this four-year, undergraduate, minority institution.
