Yale FEG Electron Microprobe/SEM Schedule (Geology & Geophysics)

For information and/or inquiries (including queries about scheduling of machine time), please contact Jim Eckert. For present microprobe STATUS, click here. More than two years after installation of the new NSF(EAR-0744154)+Yale-funded JEOL JXA-8530F microprobe, operation has evolved to a fairly normal mode, and in most cases we eventually seem able to accomplish most needed tasks (including a 31-element oxide setup, incorporating all REE with overlaps and interferences). The new era of increased resolution and automation is underway! However, some software inconsistencies remain, including execution of automated acquisition procedures; these software and automation problems at times may disrupt scheduled sessions to a significant degree. We are having success with acquisitions of high-quality quantitative data, but software behavior continues to require close monitoring to assess proper operation. When the software behaves unstably, in some cases these problems require schedule adjustments.

Within the context of the caveats above, sessions can be scheduled; we attempt to accommodate all interest, but some ongoing acclimation and instrument testing remains active, and the above-noted software concerns may affect scheduling for certain periods. If at all possible, making arrangements at least several days in advance (as many as possible) always is recommended. Also, when submitting a request for microprobe time, please include some indication what type of analysis you expect to need (e.g., EDS-qualitative and/or semi-quantitative, primarily imaging, or WDS-quantitative), along with appropriate sample details. For WDS-quantitative work, ideally this information should included at least the primary elements of interest. The scheduling indicated below is intended as a useful guide to help scheduling inquiries. Some volatility in the ongoing schedule is unavoidable, so no indications below should be taken to guarantee availability of the instrument at any given time; all scheduling must be arranged directly with Jim Eckert.. Additional updates should display here.

Thank you for your interest.
