Wednesday, May 28th, 2008, 7:30 P.M. NYMS meeting at the American Museum of Natural History, Linder Theatre, New York, NY

Arthur Coates

Problem Solving with Photon Microscopy and Microchemistry

This talk will focus on microchemical tests Arthur Coates has used as a consultant to resolve various client problems. Solving a production or process problem requires a logical sequence of deductions back to the source. Very few problems require complicated solutions, but they do require a wide and varied background. In general, the problems Coates has encountered are relatively easy microscopically, but have required significant thought prior to instrument time. The techniques that will be described are an accumulation of methods gleaned over a period of several years. Because the microscope is a convenient and efficient tool, it is usually the instrument of choice for microchemical analyses.

The lecture is free and open to the public. Enter the Museum at the Central Park West entrance, down the side driveway going behind and under the main steps. The closest subway opening is the 79th St entrance to the 81st St Natural History Museum station.
