This application requests funds to upgrade a single-crystal X-ray diffractometer purchased in 2003. The addition of a new molybdenum (Mo) source and repairs to the CCD detector by the manufacturer will accomplish the following: (i) expand the types of crystals that can be examined by this instrument, because the beam is much more intense in the new Mo source, (ii) reduce the amount of down time due to repairs, which will increase the number of single crystals that can be examined. At present, as a result of this instrument's downtime, the queue of crystals awaiting analysis has grown, resulting in unacceptable slowdowns and delays in research progress of more than 20 research groups in British Columbia. This upgrade will restore this instrument to full capacity at a fraction of the cost of a new system.

这项申请要求提供资金，以更新2003年购买的一台单晶X射线衍射仪。 制造商增加新的钼（Mo）源并对CCD检测器进行维修将实现以下目的：（i）扩大该仪器可检测的晶体类型，因为新的Mo源中的光束强度更大，（ii）减少维修造成的停机时间，这将增加可检测的单晶数量。目前，由于这台仪器的停机时间，等待分析的晶体队列已经增加，导致不列颠哥伦比亚省20多个研究小组的研究进展出现不可接受的放缓和延误。这一升级将使该仪器恢复到最大能力，而费用只是新系统的一小部分。
