SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY: IMAGING, ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION

Catalog description

This course will look at the use of fundamental physics and chemistry principles as a basis for advanced analysis of biological and synthetic objects. An integrated approach of on-line research, lecture, demonstration, and student exploration along with optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) will be used to verify findings. physical and elemental details that cannot normally be seen will be imaged and evaluated to gain an understanding of how naturally occurring and engineered products are developed. Based on student interest, additional analysis techniques will also be presented. Prerequisites: CHEM1100 and PHYS1250 (4 credits)
