A grant has been awarded to Iowa State University under the direction of Dr. Harry T. Horner to acquire a scanning transmission electron microscope for use in biological research and education. The instrument provides high resolution of a variety of specimen types, as well as x0ray microanalysis. Ancillary preparation instruments will allow the preservation and observation of frozen thin sections of specimens, which is necessary in research on immuno-sensitive specimens and nonbiological studies of films, polymers, and nanotubes. The instrument will provide a major upgrade to the biology microscopy center at the institution, which is used by more than 200 researchers from colleges and departments across the campus. Staff and students will be trained on this instrument, which will be available for undergraduate and graduate research coursework and research.

在Harry T. Horner博士的指导下，爱荷华州立大学获得了一笔赠款，用于生物学研究和教育的扫描透射电子显微镜。该仪器提供各种样品类型的高分辨率，以及x射线微量分析。辅助制备仪器将允许保存和观察冷冻标本的薄片，这在研究免疫敏感标本和薄膜、聚合物和纳米管的非生物学研究中是必要的。该仪器将为该机构的生物显微镜中心提供重大升级，该中心由来自校园各学院和部门的200多名研究人员使用。工作人员和学生将接受有关该仪器的培训，该仪器将用于本科和研究生的研究课程和研究。
