N.C. Brown Center for Ultrastructure Studies, SUNY ESF

The N.C. Brown Center for Ultrastructure Studies, temporarily located in Walters Hall, is a central microscopy facility which provides teaching, research, and public service. It is equipped to provide students, faculty and research staff with access, assistance, and training in modern microscopy techniques. These techniques include light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, digital imaging, and image analysis.

Scanning Electron Microscope Lab, Department of Earth Sciences

JEOL JSM/JXA 6300 Scanning Electron Microscope/Microprobe: Three Wavelength Dispersive Detectors and one Energy Dispersive Detector

Machine Shop, Physics Department

A great deal of experience producing innovative parts for the Physics and Chemistry departments, both for research and educational purposes.

Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (GS/MS), SUNY ESF

Mass Spectrometry is an analytical technique capable of revealing both the identity and quantity of chemical materials in a sample by breaking the molecules into ionized fragments. The fragments are separated and their mass/charge ratio and relative abundance are measured. From this pattern, the chemical structure can be determined.
