NSF Grant for Scanning Electron Microscope

With a grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), a team of scientists from St. Lawrence purchased a scanning electron microscope (SEM) in September 2009. The instrument will facilitate multidisciplinary research, research training, and undergraduate education and will be shared by faculty and students from the Departments of Geology, Biology, and Physics. Expected to make a significant impact on research and teaching within the University's science programs, the new SEM is housed in the Microscopy and Imagery Center in the new Johnson Hall of Science. For more information on how this new instrument will enhance key scientific research at St. Lawrence, please see the link above.
