| We have a Leica S430 [[Leica S430 Scanning Electron Microscope|scanning electron microscope]] which includes a functional EDX detector. We have assorted sample preparation equipment, including a [[Technics Hummer V Sputter Coater|sputter coater]], an ultrasonic cleaner, and are in the process of making a critical point dryer available for use. We also recently acquired a 43 liter [[Liquid Nitrogen Storage Dewar|liquid nitrogen dewar]] to supply the EDX with LN2, as well as other users in the space. This needs either a withdrawal device, or we need to fabricate a stand so we can pour it. | | We have a Leica S430 [[Leica S430 Scanning Electron Microscope|scanning electron microscope]] which includes a functional EDX detector.
