The Spectro-Microscopy Collaboratory at the Advanced Light Source

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will remotely operate a sophisticated synchrotron- radiation beamline in the Spectro-Microscopy Facility at the Advanced Light Source. This collaboratory will provide remote access to three analytical tools at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory's ALS that provide spatially resolved chemical information at length scales ranging (depending on the tool and the technique) from 1 micron down to atomic scale. The collaboration that uses these instruments is fairly large and geographically distributed, with investigators from 9 institutions, so the potential for savings in time, expense of training, staffing, and travel is considerable. The ongoing growth trend of synchrotron-radiation applications will provide a large and welcoming audience for the results, in terms of both opening the SpectroMicroscopy Facility to a broader user community and applying the concepts and technologies at other facilities. One particularly interesting target audience for remote usage of this and similar facilities is the semiconductor industry, which has a critical need for sample inspection and would perform essentially identical measurements on a large number of samples.

The Spectro-Microscopy Collaboratory is one of four projects funded by the U. S. Department of Energy to build Distributed, Collaboratory Experiment Environments. The project goal is to apply current network and videoconferencing technology and provide remote access to the Advanced Light Source, (ALS).
