Petrology Laboratory Improvements to Enhance Undergraduate Instruction

将购买设备升级一个新的岩相学实验室：15 双目偏光显微镜和两个自动点计数 阶段 其中10台显微镜将用于检查 五个人，一个人，一个人，五个人，一个人， 反射光 它们将用于通识教育课程， 高级地质学专业学生的课程。 他们会允许教学 光学矿物学在矿物学课程，并将用于两个 物理地质学的实验练习。 它们还将用于增强 经济地质学和沉积岩石学课程。 大学将提供50%的配套资金。

Equipment will be purchased to upgrade a new petrography lab: fifteen binocular polarizing microscopes and two automated point counting stages. Ten of the microscopes will be used to examine samples in transmitted light, and five will be outfitted for either transmitted or reflected light. They will be used for General Education courses and courses for advanced geology students. They will permit the teaching of optical mineralogy in the mineralogy course, and will be used in two lab exercises in physical geology. They will also be used to enhance economic geology and sedimentary petrology courses. The university will provide 50% matching funds.
