Purchase of A New Electron Microprobe

9316495 Carmichael该合同提供了购买新的电子微探头所需资金的71%，该探头将在加州大学伯克利分校的地质和地球物理系安装和运行。该大学承诺提供获得这一工具所需的剩余资金。电子探针是一种多功能的电子束仪器，能够准确地分析固体的化学成分，从主要元素组分到痕量元素，并在微米的样品靶上具有分析空间分辨率。新的加州大学伯克利分校电子探针将主要用于地质和地球物理系、劳伦斯·伯克利实验室的研究小组，以及其他有研究需要对固体进行微量分析的校园和校外小组。***

9316495 Carmichael This award provides 71% of the funding necessary for the acquisition of a new electron microprobe that will be installed and operated in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of California-Berkeley. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary to acquire this instrument. The electron microprobe is a versatile electron beam instrument capable of accurate analysis of chemical composition of solids for major element constituents to trace elements and has an analytical spatial resolution on the sample target of a micrometer. The new UC-Berkeley electron microprobe will be primarily used by research groups in the Department of Geology and Geophysics, the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, other campus and off-campus groups with research needs for microanalysis of solids. ***
