A Joint Facility of the Departments of Biology and Geology
During AY 2011-12 the lab is scheduled to replace the SEM/EDS system with new instrumentation funded by a Sherman-Fairchild Foundation grant to Bates College. We look forward to training our students on up-to-date technologies and welcome the expanded opportunities for innovative teaching and research that the new instruments will bring.
