E.M. 技术-菲律宾十大彩票平台大学电子显微镜实验室

外展及教育目标

• Exposure to 和 use of the electron microscope will help inspire an interest in science, 技术, 工程, 和 mathematics (STEM) careers by K-12 students 和 teachers served by the Clark Fork Watershed Education Program (CFWEP) 和 the 蒙大拿矿业和地质局.
• 捕捉和传达生物之美的能力, mineral 和 nano-scale worlds to K-12 students will spark interest in scientific careers, 提高科学素养, 并且具有打击科学错误信息的潜力.
• E.M.Tech facility was established to significantly benefit state-wide outreach activities 和 underrepresented groups in Montana, 包括来自农村的学生, 经济落后地区, 和印第安人社区.
• The microscope’s images will engage students by visualizing 和 scientifically characterizing viruses, 矿物质, 纳米材料, 以及环境破坏和恢复的结果.
• Exposure to these electron microscopy capabilities will increase student recruitment 和 retention, 增加进入STEM职业的机会, 加强蒙大拿州的科学技术.

E.M. 科技日立7820

2023年5月，由国家科学基金资助基金(奖励编号2216488), the Montana Tech Department of Biological Sciences acquired a state-of-the-art Hitachi HT7820 scanning/transmission electron microscope. This 120 kV TEM has a “Dual Mode” compound objective lens system that can operate in either high contrast or high resolution (HC/HR) mode for st和ard TEM imaging. The HT7820 includes a Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope unit with both a brightfield 和 a darkfield detectors. 而TEM使用的是广义的, parallel electron beam to obtain an image of a sample the 扫描透射电镜 uses a focused beam to scan the sample line by line. This scanning technique provides an ultra-high-resolution image of a sample in either brightfield or darkfield view. 另外, the HT7820 will be equipped with an Oxford AZtecEnergy Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) Microanalysis system. EDS将允许元素识别, 本地化, 以及样本中感兴趣元素的映射.

E.M.技术是由博士管理. 吉姆的司机, an electron microscopist with over 15 years of experience in a variety of techniques for both scanning 和 transmission electron microscopy. Dr. 司机 will be available for consultation on sample collection 和 准备 for st和ard TEM imaging, 扫描透射电镜, EDS, 并使用日立HT7820进行分析. Facility users will provide samples 和 reagents to capture images with user training 和 instrument support by Dr. 司机.

商业用途的计划正在制定中. Interested commercial usersplease provide input as to your anticipated needs within the 显微镜预期商业用途形式.
