This proposal aims to install the first dedicated high-throughput 3D-electron diffractometer in the Southern Hemisphere, and one of the first in the world. It will be able to rapidly solve the atomic-scale structures of molecules and materials for which this is now extremely difficult and time-consuming – or impossible – due to the inability to grow large enough crystals for traditional X-ray diffraction. It will thus provide a significant advantage for chemists, physicists, biologists, geologists, and engineers who rely on detailed structural knowledge to rationally optimise the properties of their compounds, from pharmaceutical activity to carbon capture to superconductivity, to the substantial benefit of multiple national priority areas.

该提案旨在安装南半球第一个专用的高通量3D电子衍射仪，也是世界上第一个专用的高通量。它将能够迅速解决分子和材料的原子尺度结构，因为该结构无法生长足够大的晶体来实现传统的X射线衍射，因此现在非常困难且耗时或不可能。因此，它将为依靠详细的结构知识的化学家，物理学家，生物学家，地质学家和工程师提供重要优势，以合理地优化其化合物的性质，从药物活动到碳捕获到超导性，再到多个国家优先领域的实质性好处。
