Geologists Receive Lab Equipment A $35,000 laboratory just com pleted at the University of South Carolina will cast additional light on the state's geology, with ac coem panying benefits to road building, construction of indus trial plants and homes, and posi tiv'e idlentification of minerals. Principal new item in the lab oratory eq(uipment is an X-ray dIiffractometer andl vacuum spec trometer that identifies minerals and other substances by measur ing the spacing of their molecules and atoms. The advantage of the new lab oratory is the speed with which results are obtained. A test is usually completed within a half hour, compared wvith 10-48 hours requiredl in a "wet" chemistry laboratory. D)r. Colquhoun said that with the aid of the advanced elec tronic equipment and continued research activity, South Carolina "can now attack and solve more basic and important geological problems."
