A confocal imaging system will be purchased and coupled with a fluorescence microscope. These instruments will be utilized by five investigators studying (1) chemical signaling in developing and adult marine snails and worms; (2) the dynamics associated with the process of colonization of a host squid by its luminescent bacterial symbionts; (3) the structure and function of sensory antennae of marine copepods; (4) the temporal and spatial gene expression patterns of symbiotic luminous marine bacteria in their host' s tissues; and (5) the molecular basis of interaction between spores of marine green algae and microbial films on marine surfaces.

将购买一个共焦成像系统，并与荧光显微镜相结合。五名研究人员将利用这些仪器研究：（1）海洋蜗牛和蠕虫的发育和成年过程中的化学信号;（2）发光细菌共生体对宿主鱿鱼定殖过程的动力学;（3）海洋桡足类感觉触角的结构和功能;（4）共生发光海洋细菌在其宿主组织中的时空基因表达模式：（5）海洋绿色藻类孢子与海洋表面微生物膜相互作用的分子基础。
