项目摘要

This Major Research Instrumentation award to North Dakota State University funds acquisition of an imaging system to examine relatively small items up to 12 inches and 25 pounds using digital radiography and computed X-ray microtomography (microCT). In addition to producing high-resolution conventional two-dimensional/flat radiographs, the system uses microCT to form multiple cross-sectional digital images of an object along a single axis. These images can be reassembled and manipulated graphically to create a three-dimensional virtual model, permitting inspection of external and internal structures without damage to the original object. There are many possibilities for subsequent analysis of the virtual model, e.g. visualization of computer-generated ?slices?, arbitrary sectional views in any desired plane, pseudo-color representations of different phases, and pore analysis. Accurate internal measurements can be made that are obtainable in no other way without destroying the sample. MicroCT provides a unique nondestructive way to visualize complex structures from the macro to micro scales. Overall system resolution now is better than 1 µm, permitting detailed understanding of characteristics of structure, composition, phase morphology, and particle distribution. Also included for specimen prep¬a¬ra¬tion is a lyophilizer or freeze-drying apparatus to remove water by sublimation and desorption, thus preserving perishable samples for imaging. Instrumentation will be housed in the NDSU Electron Microscopy Center, making it universally available for analysis to researchers in fields from Biology and Anthropology to Engineering and Chemistry as well as for teaching/training across disciplines.Through microCT, investigators will have access to nondestructive analysis that is simply impossible at NDSU now. This active, well-funded research team, which is ethnically and gender-diverse, encourages participation by members of groups that traditionally have not been not well-represented in the scientific community (e.g., women, Native Americans). In addition to research use, microCT will be an integral part of courses on nanotechnology, nanomaterials, characterization, and materials-design physics; that training will broaden career opportunities for NDSU graduates and help attract talented new faculty members. The instrumentation is expected to see immediate use as a teaching tool for inspection in Bison Microventure, an ongoing multidisciplinary course that over the past three years has provided hands-on experience integrating biology, chemistry, and engineering for undergraduate and graduate students representing eight majors from five colleges. With its versatility and ready visualization, microCT will be an attractive option for undergraduate Biotechnology students and K-20 students participating in NDSU outreach programs like the North Dakota Governor's School, NATURE program (Nurturing American Tribal Undergraduate Research and Education), state Science Olympiad, and local education collaborations. Other anticipated users include institutions throughout the North Dakota University System and industry partners across the upper Midwestern region, as no other microCT units are available within the state.
这项授予北达科他州州立大学的重大研究仪器奖资助了一个成像系统的购置,该系统使用数字放射照相术和计算机X射线显微断层扫描(microCT)检查相对较小的物品,最大可达12英寸和25磅。 除了生成高分辨率的传统二维/平面X射线照片外,该系统还使用microCT沿着单轴形成物体的多个横截面数字图像。 这些图像可以重新组装和图形化操作,以创建一个三维虚拟模型,允许检查外部和内部结构,而不会损坏原始对象。 有许多可能性的后续分析的虚拟模型,例如可视化的计算机生成的?切片?在任何所需平面上的任意截面图、不同相的伪彩色表示以及孔隙分析。 在不破坏样品的情况下,可以进行精确的内部测量。MicroCT提供了一种独特的非破坏性方法,可以从宏观到微观尺度可视化复杂结构。 整个系统的分辨率现在优于1微米,允许详细了解结构,成分,相形态和颗粒分布的特征。 还包括用于标本制备的是冻干机或冷冻干燥装置,以通过升华和解吸来去除水,从而保存易腐样品用于成像。 仪器将被安置在NDSU电子显微镜中心,使其普遍适用于从生物学和人类学到工程学和化学等领域的研究人员进行分析,以及跨学科的教学/培训。通过microCT,研究人员将能够获得无损分析,这在NDSU现在是根本不可能的。 这个活跃的、资金充足的研究团队在种族和性别上是多样化的,鼓励传统上在科学界没有充分代表性的群体的成员参与(例如,美国原住民(Native Americans)。 除了研究用途,microCT将成为纳米技术,纳米材料,表征和材料设计物理学课程的一个组成部分;该培训将扩大NDSU毕业生的就业机会,并有助于吸引有才华的新教师。 该仪器预计将立即用作野牛微企业,一个正在进行的多学科课程,在过去的三年中提供了实践经验,整合生物学,化学和工程的本科生和研究生代表八个专业从五个学院的教学工具。 凭借其多功能性和现成的可视化,microCT将成为本科生物技术学生和K-20学生参加NDSU外展计划,如北达科他州州长学校,自然计划(培育美国部落本科生研究和教育),国家科学奥林匹克竞赛和当地教育合作的一个有吸引力的选择。 其他预期用户包括整个北达科他州大学系统的机构和中西部地区的行业合作伙伴,因为该州没有其他微型CT设备。
