MRI: Acquisition of a direct electron detector for the UCLA Titan electron microscope

加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）获得了一份合同，为加州纳米系统研究所（CNSI）的泰坦透射电子显微镜购买一台Gatan K2顶峰相机。新的相机将为加州大学洛杉矶分校工程、物理科学、生命科学、医学和牙科等学院/部门的20多个实验室提供必要的仪器。为了改进设计或更好地理解其作用机制，高分辨率电子显微镜和电子断层扫描技术将对广泛的工程和自然发生的纳米颗粒、纳米器件和纳米机器以及新型材料进行尖端结构表征。核磁共振成像将从根本上改变数据的获取方式，使单电子检测和超分辨率电子成像的电子显微镜和断层扫描。新相机支持的活动有可能影响科学学科，包括物理学、化学、生物学、微生物学、工程学和材料科学，以及整个社会。通过作为加强跨学科和外展项目教育的催化剂，这台新摄像机的安装将促进加州大学洛杉矶分校四个主要学院的研究生和本科生、博士后和教师的不同群体的研究合作和跨学科培训。该奖项支持的教师都在加州大学洛杉矶分校教授专业课程，并将把该MRI的前沿研究成果纳入本科和研究生课程。MRI会进一步增强CNSI吗？在种族多元化的洛杉矶大都会地区开展外展活动，并增加加州大学洛杉矶分校少数族裔学生的研究参与。研究成果将通过出版物、技术转让、讲习班和专题讨论会广泛传播。CNSI吗?美国强大的创业项目也将被用来创造与纳米科学和电子成像相关的新知识产权、就业机会、公司和产业

An award is made to University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to acquire a Gatan K2 Summit camera for a Titan transmission electron microscope at the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI). The new camera will provide essential instrumentation for more than 20 UCLA-based laboratories in the schools/divisions of engineering, physical sciences, life sciences, medicine and dentistry. Cutting-edge structural characterization of a broad range of engineered and naturally-occurring nano-particles, nano-devices and nano-machines, as well as novel materials will be carried out by high-resolution electron microscopy and electron tomography for either improved design or for better understanding of their mechanisms of actions. The MRI will radically change the way data are acquired by enabling single electron detection and super resolution electron imaging for electron microscopy and tomography.Activities supported by the new camera have the potential to impact scientific disciplines including physics, chemistry, biology, microbiology, engineering and materials sciences, as well as society at large. By acting as a catalyst to enhance education in cross-disciplinary and out-reach programs, the installation of this new camera will boost research collaboration and interdisciplinary training for a diverse group of graduate and undergraduate students, postdocs, and faculty across four major colleges at UCLA. The faculty members supported by the award all teach major courses at UCLA and will incorporate cutting-edge research results from this MRI into undergraduate and graduate courses. The MRI will further enhance CNSI?s outreach activities in the ethnically diverse Los Angeles metropolitan area and increase research participation by minority students at UCLA. Very broadly, the research results will be disseminated through publications, technology transfer, and workshops and symposia. CNSI?s strong entrepreneurship programs will also be leveraged to create new intellectual property, jobs, companies, and industries related to nano sciences and electron imaging
