摘要
This paper introduces a novel web-based virtual laboratory to support teaching electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), specifically operations of the instrument. The virtual lab includes favorable animations to facilitate understanding characteristics of EPMA, the virtual experimental platform for instructive simulations, and quizzes to measure the students' achievements in learning. To illustrate the instrumental operations, typical experimental processes have been simulated with 3 modules and 34 windows. Students responded to the survey that the virtual lab was very effective in promoting understanding of EPMA and helping them to familiarize with the operations of the instrument and improve the skills before performing the experiment in real lab.
