Instrument: Phenom G1 Tabletop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
Capabilities: Nominally 120X to 24,000X, effectively 120X to 10,000X, of conducting dry samples that are well adhered to their mounts.
Training: Self-enroll at the UFC-LAB Canvas site and express your interest via the Interest Survey. A trainer will be in touch when their schedule allows them to provide a two-hour training session for two to four people.
How often: Training is only offered a few times per term; plan in advance!
Qualification: After the training session and studying the training materials, users must pass a quiz for the SEM within the UFC-Lab Canvas site. Furthermore, for access to OH 009, they must also read the information for UFC-Lab users and take and pass the corresponding qualifying quiz. They will then be invited to the Clustermarket/Bookkit reservation system. After acceptance of the invitation, they are assigned reservation privileges, given a funding code, and granted card access. Each of these steps can take several days; the volunteer faculty in charge have many other responsibilities that must be juggled.
