9977509This proposal describes a multi-user confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) facility at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) that will allow for new lines of research and improve current research programs across an immense range of scientific inquiry. The CLSM facility will be housed in the Department of Biological Sciences (DBS) on UNLV's campus and will consist of a confocal laser scanning microscope and a stand-alone epifluorescent microscope. The implementation of a multi-user facility will enable users to address scientific problems requiring high resolution imaging of fixed and living specimens. The multi-user facility will involve users from three different educational systems within the Nevada university system (UNLV, University of Nevada Reno, and the University of Nevada School of Medicine) encompassing areas of biology, chemistry and engineering. Bringing together users form different university systems and a broad range of scientific inquiry will promote collaborative efforts and encourage interdisciplinary studies. A CLSM facility will also strengthen the transship of postdoctoral associates, and graduate and undergraduate students, improving their competitive ability.

9977509该提案描述了内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校（UNLV）的一个多用户共聚焦激光扫描显微镜（CLSM）设施，该设施将允许新的研究线路，并在广泛的科学探究中改进当前的研究项目。CLSM设施将被安置在生物科学系（DBS）在UNLV的校园，将包括一个共聚焦激光扫描显微镜和一个独立的荧光显微镜。多用户设施的实施将使用户能够解决需要对固定和活标本进行高分辨率成像的科学问题。多用户设施将涉及内华达大学系统内三个不同教育系统的用户（UNLV，内华达大学里诺分校和内华达大学医学院），涵盖生物，化学和工程领域。将来自不同大学系统的用户和广泛的科学探究聚集在一起，将促进合作努力并鼓励跨学科研究。CLSM设施还将加强博士后、研究生和本科生的转运，提高他们的竞争能力。
