This project aims to provide a new generation electron microprobe, with advances in trace element mapping and cathodoluminescence analysis to enable superior characterisation of a wide range of materials. The overwhelming demand for electron probe microanalysis from research groups in Western Australia requires renewal of over-subscribed, ageing facilities to drive innovation and alleviate bottlenecks in advanced geosciences multi-capability workflows. The electron probe will drive underpinning geoscience, resources science and economic geology, as well as support a broad range of disciplines and diverse fields, such as nanotechnology, microelectronics and aquatic sciences.

该项目旨在提供新一代的电子探针，在微量元素绘图和阴极发光分析的进步，使上级表征范围广泛的材料。西澳大利亚州研究小组对电子探针显微分析的巨大需求需要更新超额订购的老化设施，以推动创新并缓解先进地球科学多功能工作流程的瓶颈。电子探针将推动基础地球科学，资源科学和经济地质学，并支持广泛的学科和不同的领域，如纳米技术，微电子和水产科学。
