Renovation and Replacement of Analytical Facility Equipment.

计划：学术研究基础设施计划概述：学术研究基础设施(ARI)计划支持1)购买或开发主要研究仪器，和/或2)修理、翻新，或在特殊情况下，更换过时的科学和工程研究设施。斯克里普斯海洋研究所(SIO)的这项提案要求提供资金，以更新三台旧仪器(一台电子探头、一台X射线衍射仪和一台扫描电子显微镜)，并更换一台X射线荧光系统。这些仪器将作为SIO分析设备的一部分进行维护和操作，该设备包含主要仪器，并向大学所有合格的教职员工和学生提供。该仪器将提高大学的研究和教学能力。配套资金将由该大学提供。

PROGRAM: Academic Research Infrastructure Program Summary: The Academic Research Infrastructure (ARI) program supports 1) acquisition or development of major research instrumentation, and/or 2) repair, renovation, or in exceptional cases, replacement of obsolete science and engineering research facilities. This proposal from Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO) requests funds to renovate three old instruments (an electron probe, a X-ray diffractometer, and a scanning transmission electron microscope) and to replace an X-ray fluorescence system. The instruments will be maintained and operated as part of SIO's Analytical Facility, which houses major instrumentation and makes it available to all of the University's qualified staff and students. The instrumentation will improve the University's research and teaching capabilities. Matching funds will be provided by the University.
