MRI: Acquisition of an Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope

0216343 Lowman申请购买环境扫描电子显微镜(ESEM)。到目前为止，还没有费城地区的大学具有环境扫描能力，因此，通过纳米技术中心建立的合作伙伴关系，该项目也将引起当地大学和行业的极大兴趣。此外，拟议的工作将对德雷克塞尔大学在社区推广、指导活动和研究生/本科教育方面的教育倡议产生重大影响。这也将包括费城学校为代表不足的少数族裔设计的暑期课程的高中生，以及数学和科学学院的学生。此外，正在制定新的研究生和本科生课程，这些课程将利用环境扫描学作为一种培训工具。

To date, no Philadelphia area universities have ESEM capabilities, so this project would also be of significant interest to local universities and industries through partnerships established through the Nanotechnology Center. Additionally, the proposed work will have a strong impact on Drexel University's educational initiatives with respect to community outreach, mentorship activity and graduate/undergraduate education. This will also include high students through summer courses designed for underrepresented minorities from Philadelphia schools as well as students from Math and Science academies. Additionally, new graduate and undergraduate curricula are being established that will make use of ESEM as a training tool.
