Cathodoluminescence Petrography and Image Analysis, Vital Components in an Innovative and Comprehensive Petrography Lab

精密仪器正被引入本科岩石学实验室。这些仪器包括一个阴极发光装置和电视数字化装置，它们将与现有资源相结合，以创建一个创新和全面的课程。目标是整合阴极发光显微镜、扫描电子显微镜、反射光显微镜和图像分析技术，以提供仪器的实践经验，包括分析能力和计算机接口，以及对岩石学和岩石学过程的更深层次的了解。这个项目为学生提供了进入好的研究生课程的经验，并在就业市场上更具竞争力。这所大学将提供相当于奖金的金额。

Sophisticated instruments are being introduced into the undergraduate petrography lab. The instruments consist of a cathodoluminescence unit and the TV digitizer which will be combined with existing resources to create an innovative and comprehensive curriculum. The goal is to integrate cathodoluminescence microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, reflected light microscopy, and image analysis techniques in a manner that provides hands-on experience with the instruments, including analytical capability and computer-interfacing, and a deeper knowledge of petrography and petrologic processes. This program gives students the experience to enter good graduate programs and to be more competitive in the job market. The university will contribute an amount equal to the award.
