Improvement of the Undergraduate Microscope Laboratory

本奖项授予俄勒冈州州立大学的 地质学是根据提交给 国家科学基金会仪器和实验室 改进方案。该奖项将提供一半的资金， 需要购置的岩相设备包括 显微镜和阴极发光附件。大学 致力于匹配NSF对该设备的贡献。 这些设备将用于一系列的实验室课程 在光学矿物学、岩性学、火成岩学、沉积学 岩石学、变质岩石学和构造地质学。

This award to Oregon State University's Department of Geology is made in response to a proposal submitted to the National Science Foundation's Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement Program. The award will provide one-half of the funds needed to acquire petrographic equipment consisting of microscopes and a cathodoluminescence attachment. The University is committed to matching the NSF contribution for this equipment. The equipment will be used in a series of laboratory courses in optical mineralogy, lithology, igneous petrology, sedimentary petrology, metamorphic petrology and structural geology.
