The University of the Free State (UFS) is in the process of installing state-of-the-art microscopy instruments.
According to a statement supplied by UFS, the R65 million project will not only promote research in the fields of Chemistry, Physics, Microbiology, Geology, Plant Sciences, Zoology, and Cardiothoracic Surgery, but it will also increase the number of research articles published.
In an interview with OFM News, Prof Koos Terblans, Head of the Department of Physics and Director of the Centre for Microscopy at the UFS, says this equipment will allow the faculty to compete with the rest of the world.
Terblans indicates that the university recently purchased a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and a focused ion beam secondary electron microscope.

WA scientists shed light on continent formation
Research from Western Australian scientists has shed new light on how the Earth’s first continental crust was formed.
The team of scientists, which included Dr Laure Martin and Mr Matvei Aleshin from The University of Western Australia and was led by the Geological Survey of Western Australia and Curtin University, measured compositions of oxygen in ancient granites in the Pilbara using the ion microprobe Cameca IMS1280 at UWA.
The scientists found that the water required to produce the granites did not come from above but was supplied from the mantle, which is the thick layer below the Earth’s crust.
