Acquisition of an Infrared Microscope

小行星9417949狄克逊 该合同提供部分（三分之一）资金，用于购置傅里叶变换红外显微镜系统，安装并在迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋和大气科学学院海洋地质地球物理系运行。该仪器的主要应用将是确定在洋中脊、大洋岛屿和火山收集的火成岩样品中的晶体和玻璃中的玻璃内含物中的H2O和CO2含量。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. ***
