Featured Image: Look for new Electron Optics Facility lab assistant Claire Drom. Claire is a first year student at Michigan Tech majoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Pre-Medicine. Originally from the suburbs of Houston, TX, Claire has come to somewhat-less-than tropical Houghton in order to pursue her avid love of the outdoors and snow. She is currently the president of the American Chemical Society on campus and a coach in the Biology Learning Center. Her non-academic interests include hiking, camping, roller coasters, and art. Electron microscopes have always fascinated Claire, and she is thrilled at the opportunity to work with such amazing pieces of technology. Claire views ACMAL as providing her with skills for a future career in a field based on ever-advancing technologies, and as a chance to become involved in cutting-edge research projects at Tech.
ELECTRON OPTICS & X-RAY FACILITIES
The Applied Chemical and Morphological Analysis Laboratory (ACMAL) is a university facility which is part of the Materials Characterization & Fabrication Facilities. ACMAL houses an extensive array of electron microanalytical and X-ray instruments. ACMAL is managed by the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
The Electron Optics Facility includes two scanning electron microscopes (SEM), a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (TEM) and a focused ion beam milling system (FIB).
The X-ray Facility includes a sequential X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and five X-ray diffractometers.
LOCATION
Sixth Floor, M&M Research Building
