This award provides support for acquisition of a modern light microscope for shared use by faculty, graduate and undergraduate students investigating problems in microbial ecology, vertebrate neurobiology, and plant physiology.. Recent technical advances in microscopy have revolutionized understanding of the biological world by permitting, among others, the tracing of functional consequences of trace gene expression and the inference of subcellular and genetic structure. The funds provided will aid in purchase of a research-grade, inverted light microscope with flexible fluorescence and digital imaging capabilities. The instrument will enable research in three specific areas: microbial behavioral ecology and genetic diversity in environmental samples, mammalian neuronal synaptogenesis, and plant cellular morphogenesis. The instrument will also be used to improve laboratory course experiences for undergraduate and graduate students, and to introduce students to modern techniques for the quantitative visualization of cellular information.

该奖项提供了一个现代光学显微镜的收购支持，供教师，研究生和本科生共同使用，调查微生物生态学，脊椎动物神经生物学和植物生理学的问题。 显微镜技术的最新进展已经彻底改变了对生物世界的理解，其中包括对微量基因表达的功能后果的追踪以及对亚细胞和遗传结构的推断。 所提供的资金将用于购买具有灵活荧光和数字成像功能的研究级倒置光学显微镜。 该仪器将使三个特定领域的研究：微生物行为生态学和环境样品的遗传多样性，哺乳动物神经元突触发生和植物细胞形态发生。该仪器还将用于改善本科生和研究生的实验室课程体验，并向学生介绍细胞信息定量可视化的现代技术。
