Electron Microprobe

The Electron Microprobe laboratory provides instrumentation, skills, and specialized training necessary to visually and chemically analyze solids. Bulk particulate and macromolecular materials (>5 microns) can be imaged and analyzed with the CAMECA SX-50 electron microprobe, equipped with 4 WDS spectrometers. Services are available to eligible investigators on a fee basis. For more information, go to the Electron Microprobe page.

ICICPP-MS, ICP-AES, AAS

ICP-MS

Facilities for major and trace elemental analysis include: Inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS, Fisons/VG model PQ2+) with conventional nebulization, laser ablation for solids, and other sample introduction accessories; Inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES, in cooperation with the OSU Geosciences Department, Varian model Liberty 150); Atomic absorption spectrometers (AAS, Perkin Elmer models 5000 and 4000 with flame and graphite furnace atomizers, Zeeman effect and continuum source background correction). Appropriate Class-100 clean areas are available for sample preparation. Analyses may be available to collaborators and eligible investigators on a fee basis. For more information, go to Plasma Spectrometry Facility web site

Computer Facilities

COAS computer facilities are among the best in the nation. The system includes optical fiber connectivity; SUN servers; 350 MACs, PCs, workstations, and a variety of peripherals including color printers, a slide maker, and scanners; an IBM RS6000 (30mFlop); A Silicon Graphics Power Challenge parallel supercomputer; An IBM SP-2 supercomputer; A Thinking Machines CM5 massively parallel supercomputer (5 Gflops, 2 Gbyte memory); IBM parallel computing Ring of RS6000s; Data visualization and digital video production lab; Geographic Information System facilities. Three computer labs dedicated for student use ensure access for all COAS students. For more information about COAS computing facilities, contact Prof. Nick Pisias.
