Cutting-edge electron probe microanalysis driving Western Australia’s resource geosciences

该项目旨在提供新一代电子微探针，在微量元素测绘和阴极发光分析方面取得进展，从而能够对各种材料进行卓越的表征。西澳大利亚研究小组对电子探针微分析的巨大需求需要更新过度订阅的老化设备，以推动创新并缓解先进地球科学多功能工作流程的瓶颈。电子探针将推动基础地球科学、资源科学和经济地质学，并支持广泛的学科和不同的领域，如纳米技术、微电子和水生科学。

This project aims to provide a new generation electron microprobe, with advances in trace element mapping and cathodoluminescence analysis to enable superior characterisation of a wide range of materials. The overwhelming demand for electron probe microanalysis from research groups in Western Australia requires renewal of over-subscribed, ageing facilities to drive innovation and alleviate bottlenecks in advanced geosciences multi-capability workflows. The electron probe will drive underpinning geoscience, resources science and economic geology, as well as support a broad range of disciplines and diverse fields, such as nanotechnology, microelectronics and aquatic sciences.
