This project aims to obtain a small animal, high-frequency ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging instrument, to be placed in the University of Western Australia's Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis. As a node of the National Imaging Facility, this infrastructure will result in enhanced capacity for fundamental, interdisciplinary, biological, and bionanotechnology research in Western Australia, and enable pursuit of projects previously only possible either interstate or internationally. New capacity in small animal in-vivo imaging will generate knowledge in biology, feeding into such areas as species conservation and reproductive health, and intellectual property and commercial opportunity in areas such as medical imaging and theranostics.

该项目旨在获得一台小型动物高频超声和光声成像仪，放置在西澳大利亚大学的显微、特征和分析中心。作为国家成像设施的一个节点，该基础设施将提高西澳大利亚州基础、跨学科、生物和生物纳米技术研究的能力，并使以前只能在州际或国际上开展的项目得以实施。小动物体内成像的新能力将产生生物学知识，促进物种保护和生殖健康等领域，以及医学成像和治疗学等领域的知识产权和商业机会。
