9412008 Richardson A high-resolution atomic force microscope will be purchased. This instrument is urgently needed to sustain rapid progress in the development of high resolution x-ray microscopy. X-ray microscopy is now a pivotal core technology to the use of in-vitro analysis of sub-cellar features of biological structures each as human chromosomes, and to the development of x-ray assayiny techniques for computer chip manufacture. We have established at the Laser Plasma Laboratory (LPL) at CREOL, the only university development program in the these technologies that is based on the promising use of compact laser plasma sources. Six faculty members and over 15 graduate and undergraduate students are associated with this program. In the past year, our success in establishing a dedicated laser plasma x-ray microscopy facility has resulted in the wide recognition of the potential this technology, and broad interest expressed by a large number of researchers, in this country and abroad, in partnering with us to bring this technology to the threshold for commercial development. Moreover, to encourage the latter, we are now collaborating with a number of American companies who wish to exploit this technology. ***

9412008 Richardson将购买高分辨率原子力显微镜。 这种仪器是迫切需要维持快速发展的高分辨率X射线显微镜。 X射线显微镜是体外分析生物结构亚细胞特征（如人类染色体）和发展用于计算机芯片制造的X射线分析技术的关键核心技术。 我们已经在CREOL的激光等离子体实验室（LPL）建立了，这是这些技术中唯一的大学开发项目，该项目基于紧凑型激光等离子体源的前景。 六名教师和超过15名研究生和本科生与该计划有关。 在过去的一年里，我们成功地建立了一个专用的激光等离子体X射线显微镜设施，这使得这项技术的潜力得到了广泛的认可，国内外大量研究人员表示有兴趣与我们合作，将这项技术推向商业开发的门槛。 此外，为了鼓励后者，我们现在正在与一些希望利用这项技术的美国公司合作。 ***
