There is a central teaching and sample preparation area surrounded by 6 rooms dedicated to a particular technology or preparation technique. The major equipment includes a Philips (now PANalytical) PW2400 X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (acquired 1997), a PANalytical X\u2019Pert Pro MPD X-ray Diffractometer (acquired 2005), and a JEOL 6610LV Scanning Electron Microscope with Oxford Instruments EDS and WDS microanalytical capabilities as well as backscatter and cathodoluminescence detectors (acquired 2010).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other spaces in the lab house XRF sample preparation equipment (balance, Claisse Fluxy fusion instrument, pellet press, and high temperature ovens), histology and petrography preparation equipment with a microscope\/camera system, and a gamma-ray spectrometer. The lab also houses three devices for coating samples for microanalytical and thin film work including a Denton DV-502A Vacuum Evaporator, a Pelco SC-7 Auto Sputter Coater, and a Denton Desk III carbon evaporation\/metal sputter coater. All major analytical instruments are run by modern PCs with the latest analytical software. NSF funded equipment is routinely maintained under Service Agreements funded by the College.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Keck Lab is a multi-room teaching and research facility that contains analytical equipment that has been primarily acquired through NSF funding.
