Please sign up for this class if you would like to:
1) Have fun learning about nanotechnology and get hands-on laboratory experience and find out what it is like working as a scientist and lab technician.
2) Learn how to use real-world, advanced instrumentation such as: a real Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to “see” very small objects. Also learn how to use a real energy dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDXS) to determine the elemental makeup of objects.
4) Learn how to use a real Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) to study the 3-dimensional topography and properties surfaces, at a magnification of up to 1,000,000X.
5) Learn how to perform X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) techniques.
6) Go on field trips to Arizona State University to visit their facilities and use their suite of analytical instrumentation.
7) Get involved with working in the areas of micro- and nanotechnology, possibly leading to future internship experiences.
8) Work on an independent project in micro- and nanotechnology.
