The Department of Geology at the University of Puget Sound will            purchase an energy-dispersive quantitative X-ray microanalysis system           with image processing capabilities to be mounted on an existing scanning        electron microscope.                                                                 This instrumentation will be integrated into the undergraduate             geology curriculum at all levels above the introductory courses and will        be used for student and student-faculty research projects.  The                 equipment will allow students to analyze the chemical composition of            very small regions of rock and mineral samples and thus assist in the           identification and characterization of the samples.  A modern laboratory        facility now houses the University's electron microscope and will house         the new system.
