Students in geology and biology have been using electron microscopy for         morphological studies of biological and geological materials.  By adding        a quantitative microanalysis system with digital X-ray and video image          processing and analysis systems the students are being exposed to state-        of-the-art analytical and image processing.  A new course is being              developed between the biology and geology departments to focus on the           underlying theory and diverse applications of analytical scanning               microscopy and image processing analysis. Students are receiving hands-         on experience through extensive laboratory work.  In addition students          in mineralogy and petrology are doing new experiments that are made             possible by the expanded system.  The quantitative microanalysis                software is making it possible for the students to do Bence-Albee               analyses for geological samples and to do statistical and mathematical          analyses for least-squares filter fit, intensity ratio calculations and         multiple point analysis.
