Acquisition of a Field-Emission Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope: A Critical Component of the University of Miami Center for Advanced Microscopy

9724212 Reid该奖项授予佛罗里达迈阿密大学，为其购置一种新型扫描电子显微镜和相关仪器提供资金。这种场发射环境扫描电子显微镜既可以在高真空模式下进行高倍率的样品分析，也可以在低真空模式下分析潮湿或未涂膜的样品，大大提高了研究人员在没有制备人工制品的情况下研究环境样品的能力。该奖项来自主要研究仪器项目，由地球科学理事会海洋科学部和生物科学理事会生物基础设施部共同支持。预期它将大大改进地球科学和生物科学以及其他领域的研究人员的现有分析能力，并预期它将成为迈阿密大学和其他南佛罗里达学院环境科学研究和教育一体化的重要催化剂。迈阿密大学为这个项目提供了大量的费用分摊。＊＊＊

9724212 Reid This award to University of Miami in Florida provides funds for acquisition of a new scanning electronic microscope and related instrumentation. This field-emission environmental scanning electron microscope allows both high magnification sample analysis in high vacuum mode and analysis of wet or uncoated samples in low vacuum mode, significantly enhancing researchers' ability to study environmental samples without preparation artifacts. This award from the Major Research Instrumentation Program is jointly supported by both Division of Ocean Sciences in the Geosciences Directorate and the Division of Biological Infrastructure in the Biological Sciences Directorate. It is expected to provide major improvements over existing analytical capabilities for researchers in both earth and biological sciences, as well as other fields, and it is anticipated that it will serve as an important catalyst for integration of research and education in environmental sciences at University of Miami and other South Florida colleges. Substantial cost-share is offered by the University of Miami towards this project. ***
