0842245FluegemanThis grant supports acquisition of table top scanning electron microscope, a Hitachi Model TM-1000 Tabletop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), which can scan uncoated samples at low vacuum and is equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) to permit semi-quantitative compositional mapping. The SEM would support a range of faculty and student research at Ball State University including: 1) sedimentary petrography; 2) understanding the effects of underground CO2 sequestration on reservoir rock petrophysics; 3) foraminiferal micropaleontology, biostratigraphy and paleoceanography; 3) igneous petrology; and 4) high temperature geochemistry and petrogenesis of geothermal deposits. Extant undergraduate departmental research immersion programs will foster student research experiences with electron microscopy.

0842245Fluegeman这笔赠款支持购买台式扫描电子显微镜，日立型号TM-1000台式扫描电子显微镜（SEM），它可以在低真空下扫描未涂层的样品，并配备能量色散光谱仪（EDS）以允许半定量成分分析映射。 SEM 将支持鲍尔州立大学的一系列教师和学生研究，包括：1）沉积岩相学； 2）了解地下二氧化碳封存对储层岩石岩石物理的影响； 3）有孔虫微古生物学、生物地层学和古海洋学； 3）火成岩岩石学； 4）地热矿床的高温地球化学和岩石成因。 现有的本科院系研究沉浸项目将培养学生使用电子显微镜的研究经验。
