This award will partially fund the acquisition of a new electron microprobe for the Electron Microprobe Facility in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at ASU, replacing our 24-year-old JEOL 8600. The new microprobe will provide a significant increase in our ability to chemically characterize microscopic samples, facilitating ongoing NSF and NASA-funded projects in fields such as geology, meteoritics, archaeology, material science, and biology. The new microprobe, with its increased capabilities, will also open up opportunities for novel research directions that are currently inaccessible with the current machine. The Electron Microprobe Facility has been a successful multi-disciplinary analytical facility at ASU for over 40 years, and has a history of strong commitment to undergraduate and graduate student training in micro-analytical techniques. This acquisition will provide broad but critical support for research programs institution-wide, as well as supporting important student training on state-of-the-art analytical equipment used by many commercial industries.

该奖项将部分资助ASU化学生物化学系电子探针设施的新电子探针的收购，取代我们24岁的JEOL 8600。新的微探针将大大提高我们对微观样品进行化学表征的能力，促进NSF和NASA资助的地质学、陨石学、考古学、材料科学和生物学等领域的项目。新的微探针，其增加的能力，也将开辟新的研究方向，目前无法与当前的机器的机会。电子探针设施已在亚利桑那州立大学成功的多学科分析设施超过40年，并有坚定的承诺，本科生和研究生的培训在微观分析技术的历史。此次收购将为整个机构的研究项目提供广泛但关键的支持，并支持许多商业行业使用的最先进的分析设备的重要学生培训。
