The University of St Andrews is seeking to expand and update its electron microscopy facilities with the establishment of a new facility dedicated to analysis of light elements (Li – F) through the purchase of three new instruments. These are: [A.] a Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) equipped with a high spectral resolution soft x-ray emission spectrometer with the ability to detect ultra-low energy x-rays, [B.] an electron probe microanalyser (EPMA) optimised for light element compositional analysis and [C.] a state of the art confocal Raman microscope.
