Acquisition of a Three-Dimensional Microscopic Image Analysis Systems

9500119德语将用这笔赠款提供的部分资金购买一套三维显微图像分析系统。 拟购买的设备将允许使用具有显微铣削能力的切片机逐层解剖和分析几乎所有工程材料。 然后，图像分析系统将一系列二维平面图像重新组装成三维结构，该三维结构将显示原始环境中的微观结构特征。 设想的情况类似于医学中使用的现代CAT扫描。 这将使人们对目前尚不清楚的现象有更深入的了解。 ***

9500119 German A three-dimensional microscopic image analysis system will be purchased with funds partially supplied by this grant. The equipment to be purchased will allow the dissection and analysis of virtually all engineering materials on a layer by layer basis using a microtome with micromilling capabilities. The image analysis system will then reassemble a series of two-dimensional planer images into a three-dimensional construct that will show the microstructural features in the original environment. The situation envisioned is similar to the modern CAT scans used in medicine. This should provide insight into phenomena that are poorly understood at present. ***
