Upgrade of Electro Microprobe Laboratory at SMU

该奖项提供了50%的资金所需的 能量色散X射线光谱仪（EDS）系统的采集 这是要安装在电子显微探针在 南卫理公会大学地质科学系。 大学承诺提供所需的剩余资金 为了收购。 EDS系统将允许元素的快速化学绘图 分布在地质样品中，也将提供 快速初步半定量分析。增强的微- SMU电子探针系统的分析能力 将供地质科学领域的教师和学生使用， 人类学，电子工程和其他领域，微米- 需要进行化学分析。

This award provides 50% of the funds required for the acquisition of an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) system that is to be installed on the electron microprobe in the Department of Geological Sciences at Southern Methodist University. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds needed for the acquisition. The EDS system will allow rapid chemical mapping of element distribution in geological samples and will also serve to provide rapid preliminary semi-quantitative analyses. The enhanced micro- analytical capabilities of the electron microprobe system at SMU will be used by faculty and students in the geological sciences, anthropology, electrical engineering and other fields where micron- scale chemical analysis is required.
