9505676 Drake This award provides one-half the funding required to purchase components to upgrade the electron microprobe instrument housed and operated in the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary for the acquisition. The upgrade consists of replacing the system's computer control hardware and software, replacing a contaminated backscattered electron detector, and acquiring a new vacuum evaporating unit for carbon coating of non-conductive samples. The electron microprobe is a basic analytical tool for microanalysis of solids used by a large group of researchers on the University of Arizona campus from the Lunar and Planetary Lab, the Department of Geosciences, Materials Sciences, and Engineering. This upgrade ensures access to a state-of-the-art instrument at a minimal cost compared to a new instrument. ***

小行星9505676 该奖项提供了购买组件所需资金的一半，以升级亚利桑那大学月球和行星实验室内安装和运行的电子微探针仪器。该大学致力于提供收购所需的剩余资金。 升级包括更换系统的计算机控制硬件和软件，更换受污染的背散射电子检测器，并获得一个新的真空蒸发单元，用于非导电样品的碳涂层。电子探针是一种基本的分析工具，用于固体的微分析，由亚利桑那大学校园的月球和行星实验室，地球科学，材料科学和工程系的一大群研究人员使用。与新仪器相比，这种升级确保以最低的成本获得最先进的仪器。 ***
