SCANNING ELECTRON AND TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPES

扫描和透射电子显微镜正在寻求提供 现代仪器的超微结构研究部门 生物结构，生物工程和病理学，并支持 这些部门以外的其他研究人员的研究需求， 他们通过资源超微结构和微观分析。的 要求的显微镜是Philips 515扫描电子显微镜， 配备Gatan的Philips CM1O透射电子显微镜 电视透镜。需要这些工具来取代现有的 显微镜至少有15年的历史，并且不能在定期 基础 上述部门已将其E.M.中心形成一个 集中的单元，以优化空间的利用， 设备和教师的才能。尽管这种整合 新的超微结构和微观分析资源是 现代仪器明显不足，无法满足目前的研究 需要或甚至在很长一段时间内保持运作。 此外，现有显微镜上的负载，扫描和 传播，是饱和的，很明显，资助的研究正在被 由于缺乏显微镜而受到严重阻碍。基于上述 我们之所以采取这一不寻常的步骤，并要求为这两个项目提供资金， 显微镜.

Scanning and tranmission electron microscopes are being sought to provide modern instrumentation for the ultrastructural research in the Departments of Biological Structure, Bioengineering and Pathology and to support the research needs of other investigators outside these departments who use them through the Resource for Ultrastructure and Microanalysis. The microscopes requested are the Philips 515 scanning electron microscope and the Philips CM1O transmission electron microscope equipped with a Gatan television lens. These instruments are needed to replace existing microscopes which are at least 15 years old and are inoperable on a regular basis. The named Departments have combined their E.M. centers to form one centralized unit in interests of optimizing the utilization of space, equipment, and talents of the faculty. Despite this consolidation of facilities, the new Resource for Ultrastructure and Microanalysis is clearly deficient in modern instruments which can meet present research needs or which even remain operational for extended periods of time. Furthermore, the load on the existing microscopes, both scanning and transmission, is saturated and it is clear that funded research is being severely hampered by lack of access to microscopes. It is for the above reasons we have taken the unusual step and asked for funding for both microscopes.
