MRI: Acquisition of an Epifluorescence Microscope for Research and Education at the University of Oregon CAMCOR Facility

有了这项来自主要研究仪器（MRI）和化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划的奖项，俄勒冈州大学将获得一台落射荧光显微镜。 仪器由光源和显微镜组成。 显微镜检测光源照射后样品发出的光（荧光）。 该仪器将使实验集中在活细胞成像。它将被本科生和研究生在他们的研究中使用。这项培训将帮助他们在未来的职业生涯中活细胞成像广泛用于生物技术行业。 此次收购将纳入社区外展活动，包括K-12计划。 该奖项旨在加强各级的研究和教育，特别是在以下领域：（a）为硫化氢检测和输送创造成像工具;（B）为小分子/离子识别制造分子探针;（c）为RNA生物化学制备Pt（II）试剂;（d）使用碳量子点设计纳米结构用于生物医学成像。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) and Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) programs, the University of Oregon will acquire an epifluorescence microscope. The instrument consists of a light source and a microscope. The microscope detects the light that is emitted (fluoresced) from a sample after irradiation by the light source. The instrument will enable experiments focused on imaging of live cells. It will be used by undergraduate and graduate students in their research. This training will assist them in future careers as live cell imaging is widely used in the biotechnology industry. The acquisition will be incorporated in community outreach activities including K-12 programs. The award is aimed at enhancing research and education at all levels, especially in areas such as (a) creating imaging tools for hydrogen sulfide detection and delivery; (b) making molecular probes for small molecule/ion recognition; (c) preparing Pt(II) reagents for RNA biochemistry; and (d) using carbon quantum dots to engineer nanostructures for biomedical imaging.
