Acquisition of Intergrated Analytical SEM: X-ray Image Analysis System

9314620考恩将购买一台最先进的、完全集成的分析扫描电子显微镜，用于高分辨率成像，以及快速和多功能的元素化学相和数字成像显微分析。海洋与地球科学与技术学院在过去的几年里增加了许多新的教员，这对我们目前的仪器设备提出了越来越复杂的要求。新的分析型扫描电子显微镜系统将提供：1.同时优化成像和X射线检测；2.卓越的二次和背散射电子高分辨率成像；3.极高的光束稳定性；4.先进的计算机阵列(快速处理器，大存储容量)，用于高效的数据/图像采集、处理和存储；5.用于大体积粒子场分析的出色的阶段自动化。该仪器将直接和立即使国家科学基金会赞助的各种研究计划受益，这些研究计划活跃在海洋学、地质和地球物理学以及夏威夷地球物理研究所内。

9314620 COWEN A state-of-the-art, fully integrated analytical scanning electron microscope will be purchased for high resolution imaging in conjunction with rapid and versatile elemental chemical phase and digital imaging microanalysis. The school of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology has added many new faculty in the last few years which have placed increasingly sophisticated demands on our current instrumentation. The new analytical SEM system would provide: 1. simultaneous optimal imaging and x-ray detection, 2. superior secondary and back scattered electron high resolution imaging, 3. very high beam stability, 4. advanced computer array (fast processor, large storage capacity) for efficient data/image collection, processing and storage, 5. excellent stage automation for high volume particle field analysis. The instrument will directly and immediately benefit the diverse NSF-sponsored research programs active within the Departments Oceanography, and Geology and Geophysics and the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics.
