9724305 Drucker Imaging instrumentation consisting of a laser scanning confocal microscope and an atomic force microscope will be acquired by the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). These instruments will support research in several areas of environmental, material and life sciences, including biological systems, optical display and photovoltaic materials, and nanomaterials. This instrumentation will also be a resource for both graduate and undergraduate education and research training. The instruments will be integrated into graduate training programs targeted at imaging and image interpretation, and into out-of-classroom research experiences for undergraduate students. %%% Acquisition of this instrumentation will impact research, research training and education in several programs which UTEP has identified as current and future strategic thrust areas. The instrumentation will enhance UTEP's capability for meeting its goal of integrating research into the undergraduate curriculum and of increasing retention and graduation of Hispanics, a group underrepresented as scientists and engineers. The award is funded by NSF's Major Research Instrumentation program and by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities. ***

9724305德鲁克成像仪器由激光扫描共聚焦显微镜和原子力显微镜组成，将被德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校（UTEP）收购。这些仪器将支持环境、材料和生命科学几个领域的研究，包括生物系统、光学显示和光伏材料以及纳米材料。该仪器也将成为研究生和本科生教育和研究培训的资源。这些仪器将整合到针对成像和图像解释的研究生培训计划中，并整合到本科生的课堂外研究经验中。该仪器的采购将影响UTEP确定为当前和未来战略重点领域的几个项目的研究、研究培训和教育。该仪器将增强UTEP的能力，以实现其将研究纳入本科课程的目标，并增加拉美裔人的保留率和毕业率，拉美裔人是科学家和工程师中代表性不足的群体。该奖项由美国国家科学基金会主要研究仪器项目和多学科活动办公室资助。＊＊＊
