Acquisition Nikon LV100 Polarizing Microscope

项目摘要

This grant supports the acquisition of a research-grade petrographic microscope (Nikon LV100) with an automatic point counter stepping stage and PETROG software to enable examination of thin sections. The requested microscope will support teaching in structural geology, sedimentology, and mineralogy courses by allowing photographic documentation and storage of thin section and grain separate images. This microscope will also support existing paleomagnetic, mineralogy, petrology, and tectonic research at New Mexico Highland University. The ability to examine thin sections with transmitted and reflected light is fundamental in rock and mineral characterizations. The microscopic images and the textural analyses obtained can provide important information to aid the determination of formation history, which is crucial in the study of structural geology, volcanology, and paleomagnetic research. The microscope will be open to regional, national and international collaborators. This equipment will facilitate the training of a diverse undergraduate and M.S. student body at this Hispanic Serving Institution as well as at surrounding institutions. This support is congruent with NSF?s mission of promoting the progress of science and will advance the national prosperity and welfare especially through the training of the next generations of scientists.

该补助金支持购买一台研究级岩相显微镜（Nikon LV100），配有自动点计数器步进台和PETROG软件，以便检查薄切片。所要求的显微镜将支持结构地质学，沉积学和矿物学课程的教学，允许摄影记录和存储薄切片和颗粒分离图像。该显微镜还将支持新墨西哥州高地大学现有的古地磁、矿物学、岩石学和构造研究。用透射光和反射光检查薄片的能力是岩石和矿物表征的基础。显微图像和结构分析可以为确定形成历史提供重要信息，这在构造地质学、火山学和古地磁学研究中至关重要。该显微镜将向区域、国家和国际合作者开放。该设备将促进多样化的本科生和硕士的培训。学生团体在这个西班牙裔服务机构以及在周边机构。这种支持与NSF一致吗？我们的使命是促进科学进步，特别是通过培养下一代科学家来促进国家的繁荣和福利。
