This project helps fund the purchase of a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and an image analysis unit. This new scope meets four needs: (1) to replace an old, outdated and no longer manufactured TEM; (2) to develop a new, interdisciplinary biology/chemistry/geology course for undergraduates; (3) to enhance existing courses and student research projects by using present-day TEM technology which includes routine image processing operations; and (4) to explore program alternatives for attracting majors into the sciences. Students are learning more than simple, morphological examinations; they have the opportunity to learn, by hands-on experience, the use of the modern analytical and image processing operations that current TEM's routinely perform.

该项目帮助为购买一台透射电子显微镜和一台图像分析装置提供资金。这一新的范围满足了四个方面的需要：(1)取代陈旧、过时和不再生产的瞬变电磁学；(2)为本科生开发一门新的跨学科生物/化学/地质学课程；(3)利用现代瞬变电磁学技术(包括常规图像处理操作)增强现有课程和学生研究项目；以及(4)探索吸引专业进入科学领域的替代方案。学生学习的不仅仅是简单的形态考试；他们有机会通过实践经验学习现代分析和图像处理操作的使用，这些操作是目前瞬变电子显微镜的常规操作。
