Evergreen has an impressive array of science equipment including powerful, modern instrumentation. Students analyzing for plasticizers leached from plastic soda bottles using the single-ion peak method to look for dibutylthaloide Environmental Analysis Program - 1997

			If there's a need for a program to use an instrument in an experiment then the entire class, even if they are first year students, will be given access to that instrument.

			If they demonstrate sufficient proficiency on that instrument, they may use it on their own.

demonstrating Evergreen's FTIR spectrometer

			What you see here is a spectrum of Geh4 or Germane, they call it, with this FTIR spectrometer. What I'm going to do is I'm going to blow up on one of these features, or zoom in on one of these features, and if I do that... you will see that each of the lines that you saw earlier is now split into several lines.

			And if I zoom in even further... you will be able to see that the single line you saw before really is a collection of five lines, and this is really neat because germanium has five isotopes, and what you see here, as if they are five fingers, are those five germanium isotopes in its natural abundance.
