Acquisition of a Quanta 200 Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope and Creation of the Center for Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy

0320898公园这一重大研究仪器(MRI)计划拨款支持购买和购买低真空扫描电子显微镜(SEM)或环境扫描电子显微镜(ESEM)，这将成为阿克伦大学地质学系电子束显微镜区域中心的基础。该设施将支持阿克伦教职员工和学生以及来自肯特州立大学、凯斯西部保护区和克利夫兰自然历史博物馆等地区机构的校外教职员工和学生在地球科学、细胞生物学、化学、无脊椎动物古生物学和动物学以及材料科学和工程方面的广泛研究工作。新的FEI(前身为飞利浦)广达200电子扫描电子显微镜将取代阿克伦大学现有但老化的JEOL扫描电子显微镜(1985年)。***

0320898ParkThis Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program grant supports the acquisition and of a low-vacuum scanning electron microscope (SEM) or environmental SEM (ESEM) that will form the basis for a regional center for electron beam microscopy in the Department of Geology at the University of Akron. The facility will support broad research efforts in the geosciences, cell biology, chemistry, invertebrate paleontology and zoology, and materials science and engineering by Akron faculty and students as well as off campus faculty and students from regional institutions including Kent State, Case Western Reserve and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. A new FEI (formerly Philips) Quanta 200 ESEM will supercede an existing but aging JEOL SEM (vintage 1985) at the University of Akron. ***
