for other instruments, such as a SEM and a focused ion beam instrument; and problem sets, where students perform experi- ments using specified techniques. A long-term goal for the OEMP is to produce a generalizable program structure that can be adapted broadly to support different types of instru- ment simulators. Users from other institutions will be able to contribute to the platform by helping to develop simulators for their areas of interest, or by contributing content to our virtual specimen and problem set database.
