MRI: Acquisition of a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope for Kansas State University

0923499埃德加基金被要求支持国家的最先进的场发射环境扫描电子显微镜（FESEM）的收购，以提高质量和扩大在堪萨斯州立大学（KSU）的研究，培训和教育活动的范围。该仪器提供更高分辨率的成像，电子束光刻（EBL），能量色散光谱（EDS）和更广泛的操作条件，将显着提高大学的研究能力。新的FESEM将被安置在中央KSU显微镜实验室，作为核心，多用户显微镜设施为5所学院，20个部门，和一家私人公司。该设备是该大学更广泛努力的重要组成部分，以提高其显微镜和成像能力，提供一个设备齐全的综合研究和教育环境。所需FESEM仪器为FEI NovaNanoSEM 230（配备EDS EBL）。

0923499EdgarFunds are requested to support the acquisition of a state-of-the-art field emission environmental scanning electron microscope (FESEM) to improve the quality and expand the scope of the research, training and education activities at Kansas State University (KSU). This instrument offers higher resolution imaging, electron-beam-lithography (EBL), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and a broader range of operating conditions that will significantly enhance the research capabilities at the University. The new FESEM will be housed in the central KSU Microscopy Laboratory which serves as the core, multi-user microscopy facility for five Colleges, 20 Departments, and a private company. This equipment is a critical part of a broader effort of the University to improve its microscopy and imaging capabilities to provide a well-equipped, integrated research and education environment. The FESEM-instrument requested is the FEI NovaNanoSEM 230 with EDS & EBL.
