Acquisition of Scanning Electron Microscope with X-ray Analysis System for Geology, Biology, and Environmental Studies at Dickinson College: An RUI Request

9977506 Yogodzinski这一赠款，通过主要研究仪器（MRI）计划，提供部分支持的成本收购扫描电子显微镜（SEM）配备了能量色散光谱仪（EDS）的主要元素成分映射和地质和生物样品的半定量现场分析在狄金森学院，本科院校在卡莱尔，PA。 除了它作为一种教育工具，涉及本科生在有意义的研究项目中使用，迪金森教师将利用EDS-SEM的弧岩浆的岩石成因，第四纪火山岩和奥陶纪钾镁矾的地球化学调查的研究，和苔藓虫骨骼的微量元素调查。***

9977506YogodzinskiThis grant, made through the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, provides partial support of the costs of acquiring a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) for major elemental compositional mapping and semi-quantitative spot analyses of geological and biological samples at Dickinson College, an undergraduate institution in Carlisle, PA. In addition to its use as an educational tool involving undergrads in meaningful research projects, Dickinson faculty will make use of the EDS-SEM for studies of the petrogenesis of arc magmas, geochemical investigations of Quaternary tephras and Ordovician K-bentonites, and trace element investigations of bryozoan skeletons. ***
