A High Resolution Analytical Scanning Electron Microscope for South-East Queensland

扫描电子显微镜是各种研究领域的主要可视化工具。这一新一代仪器将能够成像接近原子分辨率的特征，并从仅有几个原子的区域获得定量分析信息。由于电子束产生方式的本质，新仪器将能够检查特别敏感的材料，如软生物材料，而不会损失任何分辨率。这台机器将在澳大利亚独一无二，并向致力于建立和改造澳大利亚工业并支持纳米技术、材料科学和生物工程科学发现的不同研究领域的研究人员提供。

Scanning electron microscopy is the major visualization tool for a diverse range of research disciplines. This new generation of instrument will be able to image features close to atomic resolution and obtain quantitative analytical information from regions only a few atoms across. Because of the nature of the way the electron beam is produced, the new instrument will be able to examine particularly sensitive materials, such as soft bio-materials, without any loss in resolving power. This machine will be unique in Australia and be available to researchers from diverse fields of study working towards building and transforming Australian Industries and underpinning scientific discovery in nanotechnology, materials science and bioengineering.
