About the Laboratory

The Electron Microscopy and X-Ray Microanalysis Laboratory is a shared facility of the Biology and Geology Departments at Bates College, and is affiliated with the Imaging Center. The lab is based upon an analytical SEM (JEOL JSM-6100 equipped with a Thermo/ Kevex Sigma Quantum EDS System with a LN-free detector) and is used by faculty and students for research, teaching, and outreach programs in Biology, Geology, and Chemistry.

In AY ’12/’13 we will replace the SEM/EDS systems with new state-of-the-art instruments with funding from the Sherman-Fairchild Foundation.
