Acquisition of an Analytical Field Emission Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope for Interdisciplinary Multi-User Access at the University of Arkansas

该奖项由主要研究仪器项目授予阿肯色大学，用于获得场发射环境扫描电子显微镜。该系统有望在30千伏加速电压和高达10托的高腔压下提供2纳米的空间分辨率。这允许成像的生物或其他湿样品，而不需要导电涂层。该系统将配备热/冷级和微操纵器。它还包括其他功能，如计算机图像处理，能够捕捉样本进化的视频。来自阿肯色州少数族裔大学的教职员工和学生将可以远程使用该仪器。该仪器将由20名教职员工、学生和博士后使用。该仪器还将支持阿肯色-俄克拉何马州行星表面仪器和科学中心、先进技术中心和MRSEC的研究和培训活动。该奖项由主要研究仪器项目授予阿肯色大学，用于获得场发射环境扫描电子显微镜。该系统有望在30千伏加速电压和高达10托的高腔压下提供2纳米的空间分辨率。这允许成像的生物或其他湿样品，而不需要导电涂层。该系统将配备热/冷级和微操纵器。它还包括其他功能，如计算机图像处理，能够捕捉样本进化的视频。来自阿肯色州少数族裔大学的教职员工和学生将可以远程使用该仪器。该仪器将由20名教职员工、学生和博士后使用。该仪器还将支持阿肯色-俄克拉何马州行星表面仪器和科学中心、先进技术中心和MRSEC的研究和培训活动。

This award from the Major Research Instrumentation program to the University of Arkansas is for the acquisition of a field emission environmental scanning electron microscope. The system is expected to provide a spatial resolution of two nanometer at thirty kilovolt accelerating voltage and at elevated chamber pressure up to ten Torr. This allows imaging of biological or other wet samples without the requirement of conducting coating. The system will be equipped with hot/cold stages and micromanipulators. It includes additional features such as computerized image processing with capability to capture videos of sample evolution. Faculty and students from universities in Arkansas with underrepresented minorities will have remote access to the instrument. The instrument will be used by twenty faculty members along with students and postdocs. The instrument will also support the research and training activities of the Arkansas-Oklahoma Center of Instrumentation and Science for Planetary Surfaces, the Center for Advanced Technology and the MRSEC.
