项目摘要

1626271PageThis Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program award supports acquisition of a scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer to allow microscale textural and compositional imaging of solid earth, biological, and synthetic materials. The instrument will support faculty research and undergraduate research training at Oberlin College. This support is congruent with NSFs mission of promoting the progress of science and advancing the national health, prosperity and welfare given the importance of training the next generation scientific workforce in modern techniques of microanalysis and research methods. Faculty research using the instrument will also be of societal interest including studies of antibiotic resistant bacteria and studies of fault rocks with implications for improving understanding of the physics of earthquake rupture. Specific research that will be facilitated by the acquisition includes investigations of antibiotic resistant bacterial biofilms, the structures of hybrid inorganic-organic network compounds, characterization of elemental zoning in garnet porphyroblasts in high and ultra-high pressure metamorphic rocks to elucidate metamorphic history, the paleoecology of marine mollusks, and study of mineral fabrics in carbonate fault rocks and deformed quartzites to understand deformation processes in fault zones.***

1626271 PAGETHIS主要研究仪器（MRI）计划奖支持配备了能量分散光谱仪的扫描电子显微镜，以允许对固体地球，生物学和合成材料的显微镜纹理和成分成像。该仪器将支持Oberlin College的教师研究和本科研究培训。这种支持与NSFS的使命一致，NSFS的使命是促进科学的进步并推进国家健康，繁荣和福利，鉴于培训下一代科学劳动力的重要性是在现代微分析技术和研究方法中。使用该仪器的教师研究也将具有社会兴趣，包括对抗生素耐药细菌的研究以及对断层岩石的研究，对改善对地震破裂物理学的理解的影响。获取将促进的具体研究包括研究抗生素耐药细菌生物膜，杂交无机网络化合物的结构，在高层和超高压力岩石中的石榴石斑岩细胞中元素分区的特征，以阐明高压和超高压力的变质质量，并阐明了较小的敏化态度，较小的媒体疾病，正源于众多的媒体序列序列众所周知的媒体序列序列众所周知的媒体序列序列众所周知的媒体序列序列众所周知的媒体序列元素构想的媒体序列序列构想的媒体序列源于天然气的媒体，越来越敏化元素学杂志的媒体，即在碳酸盐断层岩石和变形的石英岩中，以了解断层区域中的变形过程。***
