MRI: Acquisition of Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscope

1337804Payne超分辨率荧光显微镜使用可见光提供20 nm分辨率。这种分辨率水平使科学家和工程师能够在相应的长度尺度上研究细胞、细胞器、病毒和纳米颗粒。佐治亚理工学院7个系的23名教职员工提议购买蔡司LSM 780 Elyra PS1组合超分辨率荧光显微镜，以推动围绕3个主题的研究：细胞与工程生物科学、复杂系统和纳米科学。该显微镜将是佐治亚理工学院位于帕克·H·佩蒂特生物工程和生物科学研究所(IBB)的核心设施的一部分。这些核心设备可供任何学术或行业研究人员使用，我们预计超分辨率显微镜将成为整个东南部研究人员的宝贵工具。核心设施还提供专业人员来监督维护和培训，以及对显微镜的长期管理。除了研究方面的进步，这种显微镜将成为佐治亚理工学院和亚特兰大的高中生、本科生、研究生和博士后研究人员的宝贵教育工具。

1337804PayneSuper-resolution fluorescence microscopy provides 20 nm resolution using visible light. Thislevel of resolution allows scientists and engineers to investigate cells, organelles, viruses,and nanoparticles on their relevant length scale. A group of 23 Georgia Tech faculty membersin 7 departments propose to acquire a Zeiss LSM 780 Elyra PS1 Combi super-resolution fluorescencemicroscope to advance research along 3 themes; Cellular & Engineering Bioscience, ComplexSystems, and Nanoscience. The microscope will be part of the Georgia Tech core facilitieslocated in the Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience (IBB). These corefacilities are available to any academic or industry researcher and we expect the super-resolutionmicroscope will be a valuable tool for researchers throughout the Southeast. The core facilitiesalso provide professional staff to oversee maintenance and training, as well as long-termstewardship of the microscope. In addition to advances in research, this microscope will bea valuable educational tool for high school students, undergraduates, graduate students, andpostdoctoral researchers, both at Georgia Tech and in Atlanta.
