This proposal presents a request for NSERC funds for the purchase of a Tabletop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) system. This compact and easy to use microscope combines an optical microscope for a rapid, low-resolution imaging of samples (20x magnification), with an electron microscope which allows to resolve features as small as 50 nm (20,000x magnification). This instrument will be used to image the morphology of novel materials and coatings produced by the nine co-applicants and for training graduate students at the Masters and PhD levels as well as undergraduate in summer internships. Additional to the research and training potential of the instrument, the system will accelerate the sample evaluation process and will significantly reduce our user fees costs since a major fraction of the samples being investigated do not require the high-resolution capabilities of electron microscopes presently installed at McGill University.

该提案提出了 NSERC 资金购买台式扫描电子显微镜 (SEM) 系统的请求。这款紧凑且易于使用的显微镜​​结合了光学显微镜和电子显微镜，前者可对样品进行快速、低分辨率成像（20 倍放大倍率），后者可解析小至 50 nm 的特征（20,000 倍放大倍率）。该仪器将用于对九名共同申请人生产的新型材料和涂层的形态进行成像，并用于培训硕士和博士级别的研究生以及暑期实习的本科生。除了仪器的研究和培训潜力之外，该系统还将加速样品评估过程，并将显着降低我们的用户费用，因为所研究的大部分样品不需要目前安装的电子显微镜的高分辨率功能。麦吉尔大学。
