An award is made to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to purchase a super-resolution light microscope, which will provide biologists and other scientists at our institution with an unprecedented capacity to advance life science research. This new instrumentation, the only example of this sort in the state of North Carolina, will provide scientists on the UNC campus and throughout the region with cutting edge technology for both instructional and research use, allowing us to expose current and future undergraduates and graduate students to the latest approaches in their discipline. By increasing the ability to resolve cellular structures, research at UNC can make an even greater impact on the knowledge of our world as well as understanding human health. This award marks the continued dedication of the UNC system to provide the best possible environment for our students and scientists.The award of the super-resolution microscope will support the entirety of the diverse research in biological sciences at UNC. Housed in the new interdisciplinary Genome Sciences Building, the super-resolution microscope will be positioned to service projects in the College of Arts and Science (In the Departments of Physics, Math, Chemistry, and Biology) as well as in basic science Departments in the School of Medicine. Research topics range from understanding how cells adhere to and communicate with one-another to how the genome is controlled. Understanding the cellular underpinnings of these processes will help keep UNC at the forefront of the biological sciences for the years to come.

向北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校颁发了奖励，以购买超分辨率的光学显微镜，该显微镜将为我们机构的生物学家和其他科学家提供前所未有的能力来推进生命科学研究。 这种新的仪器是北卡罗来纳州的唯一这样的例子，它将为UNC校园和整个地区的科学家提供教学和研究用途的最先进技术，从而使我们能够将当前和未来的本科生和研究生揭露到其学科中的最新方法。 通过提高解决细胞结构的能力，UNC的研究可以对我们世界的知识以及了解人类健康产生更大的影响。 该奖项标志着UNC系统的持续奉献精神为我们的学生和科学家提供最佳的环境。超分辨率显微镜的奖项将支持UNC的整个生物科学研究。 超级分辨率显微镜位于新的跨学科基因组科学大楼中，将定位为艺术与科学学院（物理，数学，化学和生物学系）以及医学院的基础科学系的服务项目。 研究主题的范围从了解细胞如何粘附到另一个人的基因组的控制方式。 了解这些过程的细胞基础将有助于将UNC置于未来几年的生物科学的最前沿。
