A grant has been awarded to Randolph-Macon College under the direction of Dr. David Coppola to acquire a confocal microscope to enhance faculty and undergraduate research and training. The investigators will use the confocal instrument to obtain enhanced images of cells and their internal structures in a variety of projects. Research includes characterization of cell structure of receptors in the nervous system, development of leukemia in fruit flies, bacteria that live inside marine organisms called bryozoans, and characterization of proteins in mammalian sperm. Undergraduate students will take an active role in research at this primary teaching institution.

在大卫·科波拉 (David Coppola) 博士的指导下，伦道夫-梅肯学院获得了一笔赠款，用于购买一台共焦显微镜，以加强教师和本科生的研究和培训。 研究人员将在各种项目中使用共聚焦仪器来获得细胞及其内部结构的增强图像。 研究包括神经系统受体细胞结构的表征、果蝇白血病的发展、生活在称为苔藓虫的海洋生物体内的细菌，以及哺乳动物精子中蛋白质的表征。 本科生将在这所主要教学机构的研究中发挥积极作用。
