A grant has been awarded to Hope College under the direction of Dr. Leah A. Chase to acquire a digital imaging system that will be used by biology and chemistry faculty in their research and teaching. The new microscope will provide better imaging of cells in studies of cell trafficking of proteins in brain tissue, movement of free fatty acids in brain cells, and effects of the brain on nutrition and reproductive viability. The imaging system allows for improved visibility of cells and their internal structures labeled with fluorescent markers. The instrument will be used in several classes, in particular those in a new neuroscience minor in the Biology Department. In addition, the imaging system will enhance the summer instructional program, which has recruited a large number of students from outside the Hope College campus, including a significant number of students from minority and underrepresented populations.

在Leah A博士的指导下，霍普学院获得了一笔赠款。大通获得一个数字成像系统，将用于生物和化学教师在他们的研究和教学。 新的显微镜将提供更好的细胞成像，用于研究脑组织中蛋白质的细胞运输，脑细胞中游离脂肪酸的运动以及大脑对营养和生殖能力的影响。 成像系统允许用荧光标记物标记的细胞及其内部结构的改善的可见性。 该仪器将在几个类中使用，特别是那些在生物系新的神经科学未成年人。 此外，成像系统将加强夏季教学计划，该计划已从希望学院校园外招募了大量学生，包括来自少数民族和代表性不足的人口的大量学生。
