A high resolution field emission scanning electron microscope equipped with a cryotransfer/state system and a x- ray microanalyzer is needed for investigators in biological and related sciences at Cornell University. The instrumentation will be used in a wide range of projects in agriculture, biology and related sciences, and will be located in the Bradfield Hall Electron Microscopy facility under the responsibility of the Principal Investigator who is also the director of the facility. The 15 year old conventional scanning electron microscope AMRAY 1000, currently in the facility, cannot meet the specifications needed for use in the proposed projects. While the instrumentation is necessary for the proposed projects, it should also benefit other research projects in the campus that may need high resolution SEM imaging of biological specimens or the capability to examine frozen-hydrated specimens. The training/teaching program that is currently i n place at the Bradfield Hall facility should make the state-of-the-art equipment readily available to a wide body of researchers including the faculty members, postdoctoral associates, graduate students, undergraduates and technicians.

康奈尔大学生物及相关科学领域的研究人员需要配备冷冻转移/状态系统和 X 射线微分析仪的高分辨率场发射扫描电子显微镜。 该仪器将广泛用于农业、生物学和相关科学领域的项目，并将位于布拉德菲尔德霍尔电子显微镜设施中，由首席研究员（也是该设施的主任）负责。 目前该设施中已有 15 年历史的传统扫描电子显微镜 AMRAY 1000 无法满足拟议项目中使用所需的规格。 虽然仪器对于拟议项目是必要的，但它也应该有利于校园内的其他研究项目，这些项目可能需要生物样本的高分辨率 SEM 成像或检查冷冻水合样本的能力。 布拉德菲尔德霍尔设施目前正在进行的培训/教学计划应该使包括教职人员、博士后助理、研究生、本科生和技术人员在内的广大研究人员能够随时使用最先进的设备。
