An award has been made to California State University-Long Beach under the direction of Dr. Bruno Pernet for the acquisition of a laser scanning confocal microscope for research and teaching. The new microscope will support studies of cells and their internal structures at a finer resolution than currently possible. The microscope will support a dozen faculty members in biology, chemistry, and psychology, including several newly hired faculty. Research that will benefit includes studies of growth and development of fungal and mammalian cells, development of grass plants, gene expression in muscle cells, and neural structure and function in birds. The institution has a large Hispanic population, who can be expected to participate in research projects and to benefit from the instrument in their classes. Graduate students will use the instrument in their Masters Degree research.

在Bruno Pernet博士的指导下，加州州立大学长滩分校获得了用于研究和教学的激光扫描共聚焦显微镜。这种新型显微镜将以比目前可能的更高的分辨率支持细胞及其内部结构的研究。这台显微镜将为生物学、化学和心理学的十几名教员提供支持，其中包括几名新聘用的教员。受益的研究包括真菌和哺乳动物细胞的生长和发育、草类植物的发育、肌肉细胞的基因表达以及鸟类的神经结构和功能。该机构有大量的西班牙裔人口，他们可以参与研究项目，并在课堂上受益于该仪器。研究生将在其硕士学位研究中使用该仪器。
