Purchase of A New Electron Microprobe

9316495卡迈克尔 该奖项提供了71%的资金，用于购买一种新的电子探针，该探针将在加州大学伯克利分校地质和地球物理系安装和运行。该大学致力于提供购买该仪器所需的剩余资金。 电子显微探针是一种多功能电子束仪器，能够准确分析固体的主要元素成分到痕量元素的化学组成，并且在样品目标上具有微米的分析空间分辨率。新的UC-Berkeley电子微探针将主要用于地质学和地球物理学系，劳伦斯伯克利实验室，其他校园和校外团体的研究小组，对固体的微分析的研究需求。 ***

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. ***
