Upgrade of the Duke University Electron Microprobe

杜克大学地球和海洋科学部的Cameca CAMEBAX微型探测器主要由杜克大学和北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的研究小组使用。该合同将允许升级计算机和EDS/成像电子设备以及仪器的相关软件。此次升级将使我们能够继续为杜克大学和北卡罗来纳大学的地球和材料科学提供可靠的、无损的、现场电子探针化学显微分析。此外，它还将提高我们获取大面积元素组成图的能力。升级后的地区设施将是一种具有成本效益的方法，以支持杜克大学和北卡罗来纳大学以及北卡罗来纳州其他学院和大学的广泛研究兴趣。它还将允许继续教授本科生和研究生现代电子束技术。

The Duke University CAMECA CAMEBAX microprobe in the Division of Earth and Ocean Sciences is used largely by research groups at both Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This award will permit an upgrade to the computer and EDS/imaging electronics and associated software for the instrument. The upgrade will allow us to continue to offer reliable, non-destructive, in situ chemical microanalysis by electron microprobe for the earth and materials sciences at Duke and UNC. In addition, it will improve our ability to acquire large area element composition maps. The upgraded regional facility will be a cost-effective method to support a wide range of research interest at Duke and the University of North Carolina, as well as other colleges and universities in North Carolina. It will also allow continued teaching of both undergraduate and graduate students in modern electron microbeam techniques.
