X-Ray Diffraction in the Chemistry and Physics Programs

该项目涉及购买粉末衍射仪、照相站以及运行这些设备所需的计算机硬件和软件。该仪器将用于建立一个现代化的X射线衍射设施，这将增强学生的实践经验，加强和扩大学院现有的项目，并改善可用于学生研究的实验室经验的广度。它将用于化学和物理实验室课程，从入门实验到高级学生研究项目，几乎将影响学院的每一个理科专业。

The project involves purchase of a powder diffractometer, a camera station, and the computer hardware and software necessary for their operation. The instrumentation will be used to establish a modern x-ray diffraction facility which will enhance students' practical experience, strengthen and expand existing programs at the college, and improve the breadth of available laboratory experience for student research. It will be used in both Chemistry and Physics laboratory courses that range from introductory experimentation to advanced student research projects, and will impact virtually every science major at the College.
