The addition of the EDS (energy dispersive spectrometer) canprovide rapid chemical information to supplement the visual. Because the SEM has long beenused as a single user instrument, widespread use in education has been very limited. In the early1990’s the Materials Science and Engineering Department at Iowa State University received aNational Science Foundation grant to develop new instructional methods in the SEM, makinguse or rapidly improving computer and computer connectivity technology.
