Acquisition of a Quanta 200 Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope and Creation of the Center for Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy

0320898公园这主要的研究仪器（MRI）计划资助支持收购和低真空扫描电子显微镜（SEM）或环境SEM（ESEM），这将形成一个区域中心的基础上，在阿克伦大学地质系电子束显微镜。 该设施将支持广泛的研究工作，在地球科学，细胞生物学，化学，无脊椎动物古生物学和动物学，材料科学和工程阿克伦教师和学生以及校外教师和学生从区域机构，包括肯特州，凯斯西储和自然历史的克利夫兰博物馆。 一个新的FEI（前飞利浦）量子200环境扫描电镜将取代现有的，但老化的JEOL扫描电镜（1985年的葡萄酒）在阿克伦大学。 ***

0320898ParkThis Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program grant supports the acquisition and of a low-vacuum scanning electron microscope (SEM) or environmental SEM (ESEM) that will form the basis for a regional center for electron beam microscopy in the Department of Geology at the University of Akron. The facility will support broad research efforts in the geosciences, cell biology, chemistry, invertebrate paleontology and zoology, and materials science and engineering by Akron faculty and students as well as off campus faculty and students from regional institutions including Kent State, Case Western Reserve and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. A new FEI (formerly Philips) Quanta 200 ESEM will supercede an existing but aging JEOL SEM (vintage 1985) at the University of Akron. ***
