Imaging Tool Expands Research Opportunities The installation of a Jeol Electron Probe Microanalyzer (EPMA) aims to expand research and educational opportunities for students, faculty and industry in southeastern North Carolina. In January, Jeol completed the installation of its latest EPMA, also known as a microprobe, at the Southeastern North Carolina Regional Microanalytical and Imaging Center (SENCR-MIC). The state-of-the-art facility opened in 2009 as a joint collaboration between Fayetteville State University (FSU) and the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Pembroke. The microprobe enables detailed surface analysis that reveals a lot of information about both hard and soft samples. FSU and UNC students will have access to this electron microscope to advance environmental, geological and forensic science research. 'We'll be able to use it to compare paint chips, analyse soil samples, gunshot residue and micro tool marks,' said Dr Steven Singletary, director of ...
