Acquisition of Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope

9724353 Camper生物膜工程中心是一个工程理事会支持的研究中心，是世界公认的生物膜科学和工程的领导者。 研究薄膜和涂层的最有价值的工具之一是共焦扫描激光显微镜（cslm），它提供了研究不同深度和“年龄”的薄膜的能力。 该中心在1990年项目启动后不久就购买了一台cslm，并从那时起广泛使用。 在此期间，它是100多篇论文的关键，也是50多篇论文的一部分。 一个以可持续土地管理为中心的拓展培训实验室正在开发中。 新单位将取代被视为过时的原有单位。 新功能包括使用新探头的能力、数据的三维可视化、光学横截面以及更高的分辨率和图像清晰度。 该仪器将用于生物修复、杀菌剂效率、微生物引起的腐蚀、口腔保健等项目。

9724353 Camper The Center for Biofilm Engineering, an Engineering Directorate supported research center, is a world recognized leader in biofilm science and engineering. One of the most valuable tools used in the study of films and coatings is a confocal scanning laser microscope (cslm) which provides the ability to study films at various depths and "ages". The Center purchased a cslm shortly after the programs initiation in 1990, and it has been used extensively since then. It has been key to over 100 papers during that span, and has been a part of over 50 theses. An outreach training laboratory centered around the cslm is being developed. The new unit will replace the original unit which is deemed obsolete. New features include the ability to use new probes, 3-dimensional visualization of the data, optical cross-sectioning and increased resolution and image clarity. The instrument will be used for programs on bioremediation, biocide efficiency, microbial-induced corrosion, oral health care, etc. ***
