9417917 Rutherford This award provides partial (75%) funding for an upgrade to the electron microprobe installed and operated in the Department of Geological Sciences at Brown University. The institution is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary to carry out the project. The components of the upgrade will include a new computer for the operating system and a new wave-length dispersive X-ray spectrometer system. The electron microprobe is a heavily used analytical instrument combining accurate chemical composition measurement capabilities with micrometer scale spatial resolution. Several active research faculty and their students at Brown are dependent on the capabilities of the upgraded microprobe for their research in petrology, volcanology, planetary science, experimental geochemistry, and oceanography. ***

该奖项为布朗大学地质科学系安装和运行的电子显微探针的升级提供部分（75%）资金。该机构承诺提供实施该项目所需的剩余资金。升级的部件将包括一台用于操作系统的新计算机和一台新的波长色散x射线光谱仪系统。电子探针是一种广泛使用的分析仪器，它结合了精确的化学成分测量能力和微米尺度的空间分辨率。布朗大学的几位活跃的研究人员和他们的学生依靠升级后的微型探针进行岩石学、火山学、行星科学、实验地球化学和海洋学的研究。* * *
