An advanced electron microanalytical facility for South-East Queensland

要求提供资金，用于在昆士兰州大学购买一个电子探针显微分析装置，并更新和重新配置昆士兰州技术大学的扫描电子显微镜设施。这些综合系统将在两个机构之间共享，并将为几个知名度高、业绩好的团体提供急需的基础设施。这些小组包括：冶金，材料，地球科学，化学和生物材料。收购这些设施将补充这两个机构的仪器组合，并将提供必要的基础设施，以维持与此应用相关的团体进行的前沿研究。

Funding is requested to purchase an electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA) unit to be located at The University of Queensland and to upgrade and re-configure the scanning electron microscope facilities at the Queensland University of Technology. These integrated systems will be shared between the two institutions and will provide much needed infrastructure for several high profile and high performing groups. These groups include; Metallurgy, Materials, Earth Sciences, Chemistry, and Biomaterials. Acquisition of these facilities will complement the instrument mix at both institutions and will provide infrastructure that is necessary to sustain the leading edge research conducted by groups associated with this application.
