A new national electron microprobe facility

一个新的国家电子微探针设施：精确的化学微分析支持对地球材料的研究。电子探针（EMP）是实现这一目标的主要仪器。它以微米分辨率对固体材料进行快速定量分析和元素绘图。该设施将支持各种令人印象深刻的研究，包括实验，火成岩和变质岩石学和地质年代学。它将促进包括大学和主要地球科学研究所在内的伙伴组织之间的合作。

A new national electron microprobe facility: Precise chemical microanalysis underpins research on Earth materials. The Electron Microprobe (EMP) is the main instrument to achieve this. It performs rapid quantitative analysis and element mapping on solid materials at micron resolution. This facility will support an impressive variety of research including experimental, igneous and metamorphic petrology and geochronology. It will foster increased collaboration between partner organisations including universities and major geoscience institutes.
