Purchase of a Single-Crystal Diffractometer

该合同提供了购买自动单晶x射线衍射系统所需资金的一半，该系统将在密歇根大学地质科学系安装和运行。密歇根大学承诺提供该设备所需的剩余资金。新的衍射系统将取代主要部件已使用20年以上且无法进行研究应用的衍射系统。它将被应用于密歇根大学地质科学和化学系研究项目中的晶体结构分析。

This award provides one-half of the funds required for the purchase of an automated single-crystal X-ray diffraction system that will be installed and operated in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Michigan. The University of Michigan is committed to providing the remaining funds needed for this equipment. The new diffraction system will replace one whose main components are over 20 years old and incapable of research applications. It will be applied for crystal structure analysis in research programs of the geological sciences and chemistry departments at Michigan.
