Acquisition of Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope

它将主要用于围绕基因如何控制发育这一普遍问题的研究项目。共焦显微镜具有获取光学切片和消除离焦荧光的能力，这使得它特别适用于检查厚样品的实验。拟议的研究主要涉及定位蛋白质和分析厚标本的细胞和亚细胞，因此应该通过使用激光共聚焦显微镜来显著加强这一研究。

It will primarily be used in research projects that center on the general question of how genes control development. The ability to take optical sections and eliminate out of focus fluorescence makes the confocal microscope particularly valuable for use in experiments where thick specimens are examined. The proposed research, which largely involves localizing proteins and analyzing cellular and subcellular of thick specimens, thus it should be markedly enhanced by the use of a CLSM.
