The CL microscope will support the beginning research careers of two female geoscientists with research interests igneous and sedimentary petrology. The instrument will aid in student research training in methods of optical petrography. Appalachian State serves an area of the country where many enrollees are first generation college students. This equipment will also serve faculty and students from nearby East Tennessee State University.***
