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 The upgrade will replace outdated and no longer supported computer hardware and software used for controlling the instrument and for subsequent data analysis.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. ***

该奖项提供资金部分支持升级老化（大约1986年）的第一代CAMECA SX-50电子显微探针的费用，该探针正在南卡罗莱纳大学地质科学系用于大陆，海洋和月球样品的岩石学研究中的地球化学分析。升级将取代过时的和不再支持的计算机硬件和软件，用于控制仪器和随后的数据分析。这些改进将允许更快速和改进的x射线图像采集，薄膜分析和能量色散光谱分析。＊＊＊
