9413900 Dunbar This award provides 62 per cent of the funding required for the acquisition of an analytical electron microscope to be installed and operated in the Department of Geoscience at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. The institution is committed to providing the remaining funds needed to acquire the instrument. The new electron microscope laboratory will be managed as a campus-wide facility open to all qualified staff and student users. The system will be equipped with x-ray micro analytical capabilities as well as with the usual imaging capabilities. The need for both capabilities is present in many research and teaching programs at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, but the institution has never had such an instrument available for research and teaching on campus before. The research groups having the greatest need for this instrument presently include those studying a) igneous petrology and volcanology, b) structural geology, metamorphic petrology and geochronology, c) global change, d) sedimentology, e) environmental geochemistry, f) ore genesis, g) crustal evolution, and h) metallurgy. ***

小行星9413900 该合同提供了购置一台分析电子显微镜所需资金的62%，该显微镜将在新墨西哥州采矿和技术研究所地球科学系安装和使用。该机构承诺提供购买该仪器所需的剩余资金。新的电子显微镜实验室将作为一个校园范围内的设施管理，向所有合格的工作人员和学生用户开放。该系统将配备X射线微分析能力以及通常的成像能力。 对这两种能力的需求存在于新墨西哥州矿业与技术学院的许多研究和教学项目中，但该机构以前从未在校园内提供过这样的研究和教学工具。目前最需要这一仪器的研究小组包括研究a）火成岩学和火山学，B）构造地质学、变质岩石学和地质年代学，c）全球变化，d）沉积学，e）环境地球化学，f）矿石成因，g）地壳演化和h）冶金学的研究小组。 ***
