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.

俄勒冈大学将获得来自主要研究仪器（MRI）和化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目的这一奖项，获得一台epifluorescence显微镜。该仪器由光源和显微镜组成。显微镜检测样品在光源照射后发出的光（荧光）。该仪器将使活细胞成像实验成为可能。它将被本科生和研究生用于他们的研究。由于活细胞成像技术广泛应用于生物技术行业，这一培训将有助于他们未来的职业发展。此次收购将被纳入包括K-12课程在内的社区外展活动。该奖项旨在加强各级的研究和教育，特别是在以下领域：(a)创建用于硫化氢检测和输送的成像工具；(b)制作用于小分子/离子识别的分子探针；(c)制备RNA生化Pt（II）试剂；(d)利用碳量子点来设计用于生物医学成像的纳米结构。
