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

9977506Yogozinski这笔赠款通过主要研究仪器(MRI)计划提供部分支持，用于在宾夕法尼亚州卡莱尔的本科生机构迪金森学院购买配备有能量色散光谱仪(EDS)的扫描电子显微镜(SEM)，用于主要元素成分测绘和地质和生物样品的半定量斑点分析。除了将其用作本科生参与有意义的研究项目的教育工具外，狄金森学院还将利用EDS-SEM研究弧形岩浆的岩石成因，第四纪特弗利岩和奥陶系钾膨润土的地球化学调查，以及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. ***
