Funds are requested for the purchase of an environmental scanning electron microscope to be used in a new Micro-Environmental Imaging and Analysis Facility. Among the projects that would benefit from the new equipment are studies of biofilm mobility in the soil, non-viral gene delivery methods, protein-inorganic biomineralization, and nanobiofabrication techniques. The major benefit of the new equipment would be its ability to image delicate materials such as biologicals without introducing artifacts in the sample preparation process. Faculty from numerous departments including Materials, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology would utilize the equipment.

请拨资金购买一台环境扫描电子显微镜，用于新的微环境成像和分析设施。将从新设备中受益的项目包括土壤中生物膜移动性的研究、非病毒基因传递方法、蛋白质-无机生物矿化和纳米生物制造技术。新设备的主要好处将是它能够在样品制备过程中不引入人工制品的情况下对生物制品等精细材料进行成像。来自材料、化学、化学工程和分子、细胞和发育生物学等多个系的教员将使用这些设备。
