The Nanoscale Characterisation Centre WA Electron Microprobe Facility

新一代电子探针将支持许多科学领域的努力，为澳大利亚未来的繁荣奠定基础。绘制矿物中元素分布图和进行定量分析的能力对于研究矿床的形成、如何找到它们以及如何以可持续的方式开发它们是必不可少的。纳米技术和材料科学是通信、计算、催化、医学、环境修复等领域未来发展的关键。通过提高独特的WA离子探针套件的性能，电子显微探针将为新的基础科学和澳大利亚的旗舰仪器的科学声誉做出贡献。

A new-generation electron microprobe will support many fields of scientific endeavour that underpin Australia's future prosperity. The ability to map element distributions in minerals and derive quantitative analyses is essential for research into the formation of ore deposits, how to find them and how to develop them in a sustainable manner. Nanotechnology and materials science hold the keys to future developments in communications, computing, catalysis, medicine, environmental remediation and more. By increasing the performance of the unique WA ion probe suite, the electron microprobe will contribute to new basic science and to Australia's scientific reputation for this flagship instrumentation.
