The University will introduce x-ray diffraction techniques into the             undergraduate geology curriculum.  X-ray diffraction is an essential            tool for understanding crystal structures and mineralogy. The equipment         consists of a Phillips X-ray diffraction system with scintillation              detector and powder camera, sample preparation equipment, and                   microprocessor control.  The equipment will find use in introductory            mineralogy and petrology courses, advanced optical mineralogy and               petrography courses, a techniques oriented course in x-ray mineralogy           and as part of independent undergraduate research.  With the                    availability of an x-ray diffractometer, students will gain a greater           appreciation of the fundamental principles of crystallography and               mineralogy and be better able to function as working geologists                 following graduation.
