Acquisition of an Infrared Microscope

9417949迪克森该合同为购买傅里叶变换红外显微镜系统提供了部分(三分之一)资金，该系统将在迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋和大气科学学院海洋地质和地球物理系安装和运行。该仪器的主要应用将是测定在大洋中脊、大洋岛屿和火山采集的火成岩样品中晶体和玻璃中玻璃包裹体中H2O和CO2的含量。利用该仪器获得的数据将用于解决与挥发物在火山喷发机制中的作用有关的科学问题。***

9417949 Dixon This award provides partial (one-third) funding for the acquisition of a Fourier transform infrared microscope system to be installed and operated in the Department of Marine Geology & Geophysics at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. The main application of the instrument will be to determine H2O and CO2 contents in glass inclusions in crystals and glasses from igneous rock samples collected at mid-ocean ridges, oceanic islands, and volcanoes. The data acquired with the instrument will be used to address scientific problems related to the role of volatiles in volcanic eruption mechanisms. ***
