Funded Activity Summary

The Nanoscale Characterisation Centre WA Electron Microprobe Facility. A new-generation electron microprobe will support many fields of scientific endeavour that underpin Australia's future prosperity. The ability to map element distributions in minerals and derive quantitative analyses is essential for research into the formation of ore deposits, how to find them and how to develop them in a sustainable manner. Nanotechnology and materials science hold the keys to future developments in communications, computing, catalysis, medicine, environmental remediation and more. By increasing the performance of the unique WA ion probe suite, the electron microprobe will contribute to new basic science and to Australia's scientific reputation for this flagship instrumentation.
