Acquisition of a Photomicroscope with Nomarski DIC Optics

9319239 Johansen将使用先进的研究光学显微镜对硅藻的结构进行研究，对伊利湖四个河口的藻类群落进行生态学研究，对秀丽隐杆线虫进行遗传和发育生物学研究，并利用韦伯器和鲤类内脏弓的早期个体发育对鱼类进行系统研究。该仪器将用于一个致力于本科和硕士教育的机构的教师和学生的研究。

9319239 Johansen An advanced research optical microscope fitted for differential interference contrast will be used in the study of the structure of diatoms, a study of the ecology of algal communities in four Lake Erie estuaries, genetic and developmental biology studies of C. elegans, and systematic studies of fishes using early ontogeny of the Weberian apparatus and visceral arches in cyprinids. The instrument will be used for faculty and student research in an institution dedicated to undergraduate and masters-level education.
