Acquisition of a Transmission Electron Microscope and Elemental Microanalysis Science Building of the Univ. of South Florida.

项目：学术研究基础设施项目学术研究基础设施（ARI）计划支持1)主要研究仪器的获取或开发，和/或2)维修、翻新，或在特殊情况下更换过时的科学和工程研究设施。这份来自南佛罗里达大学（USF）的提案要求拨款购买一台透射电子显微镜。该仪器将作为共享设备运行，以支持圣彼得堡/坦帕地区USF和Eckerd学院的科学家的研究和教学工作。该仪器将被安置在USF的新海洋科学大楼中，USF将提供一名全职技术人员来支持该仪器。大学亦会提供配套资金购买仪器。

PROGRAM: Academic Research Infrastructure Program Summary: The Academic Research Infrastructure (ARI) program supports 1) acquisition or development of major research instrumentation, and/or 2) repair, renovation, or in exceptional cases, replacement of obsolete science and engineering research facilities. This proposal from the University of South Florida (USF) requests funds to purchase an transmission electron microscope. The instrument will be operated as a shared-use facility to support research and teaching efforts of scientists in the St. Petersburg/Tampa area at USF and Eckerd College. The instrument will be housed in the new Marine Science Building at USF, and USF will provide a full-time technician to support the instrument. The University will also supply matching funds to purchase the instrument.
