Electron Microscopes for Nanometer-Scale Imaging/Microanalysis in the Materials, Biological, Physical, Engineering and Chemical Sciences

在过去的60年里，电子显微镜为许多最重大的发现和技术进步做出了贡献。高分辨率透射和扫描电子显微镜已成为具有国际竞争力的材料科学、生物学、生物医学、物理、化学和广泛的工程学科的基本研究基础设施。该功能目前在纽卡斯尔、亨特、中下北海岸和新英格兰地区不可用。这项建议旨在满足这些领域对高分辨率显微镜的巨大需求，从而在三个国家研究优先事项中产生高质量的研究成果，并为研究培训做出重大贡献。

Electron microscopes have contributed to many of the most significant discoveries and technological advances of the last 6 decades. High resolution transmission and scanning electron microscopes have become essential research infrastructure in internationally competitive materials science, biology, bio-medical science, physics, chemistry and a broad range of engineering disciplines. This capability is not currently available in the Newcastle, Hunter, Central and Lower North Coast and New England regions. This proposal is aimed at satisfying the considerable demand for high resolution microscopy in these areas leading to high quality research outcomes across 3 National Research Priorities and a strong contribution to research training.
