Summary
An Analytical Variable Pressure Scanning Electron Microscope for South-East Queensland. The proposed equipment is an analytical scanning electron microscope (SEM) with the special capability that it can examine and analyse specimen surfaces at high magnifications while specimens remain at low vaccum. This allows hydrated or poorly conducting samples to be examined directly without the specimen preparation usually necessary for SEM. Scanning electron microscopy is already extensively used in re ....An Analytical Variable Pressure Scanning Electron Microscope for South-East Queensland. The proposed equipment is an analytical scanning electron microscope (SEM) with the special capability that it can examine and analyse specimen surfaces at high magnifications while specimens remain at low vaccum. This allows hydrated or poorly conducting samples to be examined directly without the specimen preparation usually necessary for SEM. Scanning electron microscopy is already extensively used in research across multiple disciplines, including mineralogy, materials science and engineering, and life science. The instrument, to be sited at QUT, would be available to researchers from the three Brisbane universities, and would greatly enhance the regional capabilities for characterisation of materials.Read moreRead less

Drug discovery is reliant on the application of basic research and advanced technologies to obtain solutions to human suffering caused by diseases. This application seeks funding to support the installation of state-of-the-art mass spectrometry instrumentation at Griffith University and the University of Melbourne. The requested instrumentation will enhance high quality collaborative research programs in drug discovery and eradicate significant deficiencies in research infrastructure at both institutions. Access to state-of-the-art mass spectrometry instrumentation will markedly improve our international competitiveness across a broad range of biological and chemical science disciplines.Read moreRead less
