Facilities for automated high-throughput slide scanning and stereology

所要求的设备将促进澳大利亚小鼠大脑测绘联盟的工作，该联盟是澳大利亚研究小组合作提供该国唯一的小鼠模型大脑测绘能力的联盟。该联盟将实验室、神经成像和计算专业知识汇集在一个全面的老鼠大脑成像框架中。这将有助于研究人员研究小鼠一生中遗传和获得性疾病的模型。远程观察和分析能力将有助于克服“距离的暴政”，增加国家对该设施的访问。数字化图像存储库将增加其他澳大利亚和国际研究人员有价值的研究材料的可用性。

The equipment requested will facilitate the work of the Australian Mouse Brain Mapping Consortium, a consortium of Australian research groups collaborating to provide the only mouse model brain mapping capability in the country. The consortium brings together laboratory, neuroimaging and computational expertise in a comprehensive framework for imaging the mouse brain. This will help researchers to study mouse models of genetic and acquired disorders across the life-span. Remote viewing and analysis capabilities will help overcome the 'tyranny of distance', increasing national access to the facility. Repositories of digitised images will increase the availability of valuable research material to other Australian and international researchers.
