An award has been made to the University of Connecticut under the direction of Dr. David A. Knecht to acquire a spinning disc confocal microscope to be used for observing living cells in real time. The instrument will allow real-time, fast imaging of cells to study a variety of cellular processes, including motility, auxin transport, vesicular transport, and auxin localization in plants, slime molds, and fish. The microscope will increase viability of cells and allow observations to be made over long periods of time. The institution has strong record in several programs for recruiting underrepresented groups to science, and the instrument will enhance the experiences of students in these programs. Most of the users of the confocal microscope will be graduate students, and undergraduate and high school students will be given demonstrations with the instrument.

康涅狄格大学在大卫·A·奈赫特博士的指导下获得了一项奖励，获得了一台旋转圆盘共聚焦显微镜，用于实时观察活细胞。该仪器将允许对细胞进行实时、快速的成像，以研究各种细胞过程，包括运动、生长素运输、囊泡运输以及生长素在植物、黏菌和鱼类中的定位。这种显微镜将提高细胞的活力，并允许在较长时间内进行观察。该机构在几个招收代表不足的群体进入科学领域的项目中有着良好的记录，该工具将增强学生在这些项目中的体验。大多数共焦显微镜的使用者将是研究生，本科生和高中生将使用该仪器进行演示。
