Video Microscopy System

这项奖励提供资金帮助购买设备，以改善华盛顿大学本科生的组织生物学教育，包括主修和非主修，主要侧重于海洋无脊椎动物生物学的课程。所要求的具体设备是现代视频显微镜系统，包括带有两个复合和立体显微镜的移动工作站、高分辨率固态摄像机、教师和教室彩色监视器以及盒式录像机。该设备将允许实验室中的所有学生同时和互动地参与相同的显微镜练习，并通过现场视频演示来解决特定问题。它还将允许存储和检索图像，包括那些很少能捕捉到的现象的图像。受赠人正在将该奖项与非联邦来源相匹配。

This award provides funds to help purchase equipment which will improve the education of undergraduate students, both majors and non-majors, at the University of Washington in organismic biology, with primary emphasis on courses focusing on the biology of marine invertebrates. The specific equipment requested is a modern video microscopy system, including mobile workstation with two compound and stereo microscopes, high resolution solid-state cameras, instructor and classroom color monitors, and video cassette recorder. This equipment will permit all students in the laboratory to participate simultaneously and interactively in the same microscopy exercises and to address particular problems by live video presentations. It will also permit storage and recall of images including those of phenomena that can only rarely be captured. The grantee is matching this award with non-Federal sources.
