RIMI: Enhancement of Minority Education: Establishment of a Modern Research/Resource Electron Microscopy Facility

要求为生物系、化学系和物理系建立一个多用途的透射电子显微镜设备。电子显微镜设备将取代20年前的过时仪器，并将加强目前在病原孢子的结构/出芽和超导材料的微观结构表征方面的研究工作。突变孢子虫感染大麦，大麦对人类和动物具有重要的营养价值，据说也是人类艾滋病的机会性病原体。对于超导材料，电子显微镜将用于表征微米级超导材料，其电子性能在加工过程中受到子结构的影响。＊＊＊

9353309 Henry The establishment of a multi-user, transmission electron microscope facility is requested for the departments of biology, chemistry and physics. The electron microscope facility will replace a dated instrument of twenty years and will enhance the current research efforts in the structure/budding of pathogenic spordia and the microstructural characterization of superconducting materials. The mutant spordia infects barley, which has an important nutritional value for humans and animals, and also is reputedly an opportunistic agent in human AIDS. For the superconducting materials, the electron microscope will be used to characterize at the micron regime superconductive materials whose electronic properties are affected by the substructure during processing. ***
