Cryogenic Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope (cryo-FIB-SEM)

拟议的低温聚焦离子束扫描电子显微镜（cryo-FIB-SEM）将把低温保存技术与高分辨率成像和先进的分析方法结合到一个单一的仪器中。这种独特的配置将进一步巩固图宾根大学在德国和世界范围内的环境，生物和生命科学发展的核心。该仪器本身具有广泛的应用，将用于解决环境中微生物与矿物质的聚集特性，研究昆虫附属物中关节的运动，了解构成贝壳和化石的重复晶体单位，探测细菌产生的生物纳米线的电子承载能力，以及许多其他令人兴奋的研究前沿。cryo-FIB-SEM将成为一个新研究中心的组成部分，即将于2018年年中完成的Geound Umweltforschungszentrum（GUZ）。GUZ大楼将联合收割机许多地球科学在一个中心位置，靠近科学学院内的大多数部门。

The proposed cryogenic, focused ion beam, scanning electron microscope (cryo-FIB-SEM) will combine cryogenic preservation techniques with high resolution imaging, and advanced analytical methods into a single instrument. This unique configuration will further cement the University of Tuebingen at the heart of developments in environmental, biological and life sciences within Germany and the world. The instrument itself is capable of a wide range of applications which will be used to resolve the aggregation properties of microbes with minerals in the environment, study the movements of joints in insect appendages, develop understanding of the repeating crystal units that make up shells and fossils, probe electron carrying capacity of biological nanowires which are generated by bacteria, and many other exciting research frontiers. The cryo-FIB-SEM will form an integral part to a new research center, i.e. the Geound Umweltforschungszentrum (GUZ), which will be completed in mid-2018. The GUZ building will combine many geosciences within one central location in close proximity to the majority of the departments within the faculty of science.
