Series Description
Arranged alphabetically by subject, this series contains materials regarding electron microanalysis instruments that were collected by the Microanalysis Society. Nine of the files in this series concern instruments manufactured by CAMECA, including the SX 50 Electron Microprobe and peripheral equipment. Four files in this series regarding Applied Research Laboratories EMX Microprobes, which were built for IBM Research and the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Department of Geology respectively, are also present in this series.
Manuals and drawing reproductions are the most common items found in the Instrument Files. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, blueprints, notes, and data sheets are preserved here as well.
