Surface Microstructural Analysis Laboratory
McMahon Building , Room 106
Student using equipmentThe Surface and Microstructure Analysis Laboratory (SMAL) is equipped with two conventional scanning electron microscopes, one of which has an energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS) for qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis. The Lab is also home to an environmental SEM (ESEM), also equipped with an EDS spectrometer, hot stages and a Peltier stage. With these stages, imaging can be performed on small samples from room temperature to 1500°C, allowing some melting and sintering events to be observed. The ESEM also allows some biological tissue and biomaterial specimens can also be observed in the presence of moisture.

An electron probe microanalyzer (microprobe) with wavelengeth-dispersive and energy-dispersive capabilities is also housed at this facility. Additional capabilities include transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
