The aim of this proposal is to provide a mission-critical upgrade to the Electron Probe Microanalyzer (EPMA) facility at the University of Calgary, specifically a new energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). An EPMA is a sophisticated electron-beam instrument optimized for in-situ chemical analysis and chemical mapping of solid materials. The University of Calgary microprobe is the only one in Calgary and southern Alberta, and is a fundamental analytical 'pillar' supporting the university's research mission. Since its arrival in 2001, 44 university researchers from 11 departments in the university, dozens of undergraduate and graduate students, and researchers in the oil and gas, minerals and engineering sectors, have used the facility to make fundamental advances in such diverse fields as: igneous and metamorphic petrology; geochronology; ore deposits; oil and gas reservoirs and those used for CO2 sequestration; paleontology; solid-oxide fuel cell technology; corrosion and scaling in pipelines; polymers, alloys electrodes and conductors; concrete and masonry; chemical fingerprinting of archeological artifacts. Planned future use is just as diverse.

该提案的目的是为卡尔加里大学的电子探针显微分析仪 (EPMA) 设施提供关键任务升级，特别是新的能量色散光谱仪 (EDS)。 EPMA 是一种先进的电子束仪器，针对固体材料的原位化学分析和化学图谱进行了优化。卡尔加里大学的微探针是卡尔加里和艾伯塔省南部唯一的一个，是支持该大学研究任务的基本分析“支柱”。自 2001 年抵达以来，来自大学 11 个系的 44 名大学研究人员、数十名本科生和研究生以及石油和天然气、矿物和工程领域的研究人员利用该设施在以下不同领域取得了根本性进展：火成岩和变质岩岩石学；地质年代学；矿床；石油和天然气储层以及用于二氧化碳封存的储层；古生物学；固体氧化物燃料电池技术；管道腐蚀和结垢；聚合物、合金电极和导体；混凝土和砖石；考古文物的化学指纹。未来计划的用途同样多种多样。
