This award will provide one-half the funds to purchase an                  automated electron microprobe with energy and wavelength                        dispersive x-ray spectrometers, x-ray mapping and a                             cathodoluminescence spectrometer. The instrument will be housed                 and operated in the Department of Geological Sciences at the                    Virginia Polytechnic Institute &amp; State University, which will                   provide the remaining funds needed for its purchase.                                 The analytical capabilities of the electron probe are                      essential for the research programs of many of the faculty                      members in the Geological Sciences, and the instrument will also                be put at the disposal of the departments of Materials Sciences,                Mining, Chemical Engineering, Biology, Agronomy, Chemistry and                  Physics, all of whom have one or more active researchers who need               microanalytical data.
