0320639SelleckThis Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program grant supports acquisition of a JEOL Model JSM-6360 LV Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with CL and BSE detectors for imaging and analysis of a variety of geological materials in the Department of Geology at Colgate University. This equipment will replace an antiquated SEM purchased in 1986. The new equipment will be interfaced with a new PGT Spirit Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis System (EDS) purchased in spring 2002 with university funds. A number of geological research projects are critically dependent on the new SEM system including studies of paleoclimate in Alaska, Antarctica and New York; mineral-plant interactions in acidified soil systems; burial diagenesis and cementation in ancient sandstones; petrologic and tectonic studies of the Grenville Orogen (including hydrothermal systems); and burial taphonomy of dinosaur eggs. Undergraduate student research in Geology at Colgate is used as a component of coursework and for upper-level independent projects and theses; the new SEM will provide students with hands-on experience using state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation for high resolution microscopy and microchemical analysis of natural materials.

0320639Selleck 这项重大研究仪器 (MRI) 计划拨款支持购买一台 JEOL JSM-6360 LV 型扫描电子显微镜 (SEM)，配有 CL 和 BSE 探测器，用于科尔盖特大学地质系对各种地质材料进行成像和分析。 该设备将取代 1986 年购买的陈旧 SEM。新设备将与 2002 年春季由大学资助购买的新 PGT Spirit 能量色散 X 射线分析系统 (EDS) 连接。 许多地质研究项目都严重依赖于新的 SEM 系统，包括对阿拉斯加、南极洲和纽约古气候的研究；酸化土壤系统中矿物质与植物的相互作用；古砂岩中的埋藏成岩作用和胶结作用；格伦维尔造山带（包括热液系统）的岩石学和构造研究；以及恐龙蛋的埋葬埋葬。 高露洁地质学本科生研究被用作课程作业的一部分以及高级独立项目和论文；新的扫描电镜将为学生提供使用最先进的分析仪器对天然材料进行高分辨率显微镜和微化学分析的实践经验。
