Instrument Upgrade: The USC Electron Microprobe Facility

9530284 Shervais该奖项为升级南卡罗来纳大学地质科学系正在使用的第一代Cameca SX-50电子微探头的部分费用提供资金，该探头用于大陆、海洋和月球样品的岩石学研究中的地球化学分析。此次升级将替换用于控制仪器和后续数据分析的过时和不再受支持的计算机硬件和软件。这些改进将使X射线图像采集、薄膜分析和能量色散分析更加快速和改进。***

9530284 Shervais This award provides funds for in partial support of the costs of upgrading an aging (circa 1986), first generation CAMECA SX-50 electron microprobe in use at the University of South Carolina's Department of Geological Sciences for geochemical analyses in petrologic studies of continental, oceanic and lunar samples. The upgrade will replace outdated and no longer supported computer hardware and software used for controlling the instrument and for subsequent data analysis. These improvements will allow more rapid and improved X-ray image acquisition, thin film analyses and energy dispersive spectrum analyses. ***
