MRI: Acquisition of a Spectrum-Spanning (UV-NIR) Raman-Atomic Force Microspectrometric System for Submicron 3-D Chemical Mapping of Cellular, Natural and Synthetic Materials

PI要求获得资金，以获得一个跨光谱（UV-NIR）拉曼原子力显微光谱系统，用于细胞，天然和合成材料的亚微米3-D化学映射。该仪器能够在表面、细胞内部和周围以及任何其他颗粒上进行拓扑结构和化学官能团的3D映射。该仪器将用于分析单细胞、气溶胶、表面、生物膜、涂层以及天然和新型合成材料。它将用于海洋、大气、环境、生物、化学和材料科学以及生物医学工程等领域的项目。 该仪器将有利于广泛的研究领域，包括海洋和大气科学，材料科学和医学科学。这些研究项目对理解全球地球化学循环、大气气溶胶物理学、材料开发、材料降解和医学具有重要的应用价值。在所有教育水平的学生的培训似乎由SBU一般的跟踪记录，和PI的保证。

The PIs request funding to acquire a spectrum-spanning (UV-NIR) raman-atomic force microspectrometric system for submicron 3-D chemical mapping of cellular, natural and synthetic materials. This instrument enables 3-D mapping of topology and chemical functional groups across surfaces, and in and around cells, as well as any other particle. The instrumentation will be used for analyses of single cells, aerosols, surfaces, biofilms, coatings, and both natural and novel synthetic materials. It will be used for projects in marine, atmospheric, environmental, biological, chemical, and materials sciences, and biomedical engineering.Broader Impacts: The instrumentation will benefit a broad portfolio of research fields including ocean and atmospheric sciences, material science, and medical science. The research projects have important applications toward understanding global geochemical cycling, atmospheric aerosol physics, materials development, materials degradation, and medicine. The training of students at all educational levels appears guaranteed by the track record of SBU in general, and the PIs.
