DEVELOPMENT OF MICROSCOPE IMAGING STATION

描述(改编自应聘者摘要)：协作工作 来自旧金山地区大学的生物医学研究人员， 在全国和国外，探索博物馆提议开发一个高- 高质量显微成像站，供博物馆参观者、学生、 教师和互联网访问者。这个设施将利用最高的 高质量的光学和最先进的显微技术，包括 生物染色和复杂的数字记录。各式各样的生活 对基础生物学、人类发育、人类基因组至关重要的标本 并将展示与健康相关的研究。 空间站将是生命科学领域的活跃中心 探索学院，提供教育内容，戏剧形象和常规 为吸引观众而进行的演示，范围从略带好奇的人到 研究科学家。此外，探索博物馆将是第一个公开的 除了几个研究实验室之外的机构，现场直播 通过视频和互联网实时采集显微标本。(截至目前， 远程显微镜通常呈现无生命的物体或固定的 纸巾。)为了增加学生的可访问性， 影像站将整合到正在进行的初中和高中 博物馆的教师专业发展。教师将能够使用 影像站自行开展实验，开展课堂教学 探险，拿走图片，在教室里访问网站，或者 与其他教师共享教材。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the applicants abstract): Working in collaboration with biomedical researchers from universities in the San Francisco area, across the nation, and abroad, the Exploratorium proposes to develop a high- quality microscopic imaging station for use by museum visitors, students, teachers and Internet visitors. This facility will utilize the highest quality optics and state-of-the-art microscopic techniques including biological staining and sophisticated digital recording. A variety of living specimens fundamental to basic biology, human development, the human genome and health-related research will be displayed. The station will be the lively center of the life sciences' area at the Exploratorium, providing educational content, dramatic imagery and regular demonstrations to reach an audience which ranges from the mildly curious to research scientists. In addition, the Exploratorium will be the first public institution, outside of a few research laboratories, to present live microscopic specimens via video and the Internet in real time. (To date, remote microscopes have generally presented inanimate objects or fixed tissue.) In order to increase student accessibility, subject matter for the Imaging Station will be integrated into the ongoing middle and high school teacher professional development at the museum. Teachers will be able to use the Imaging Station to conduct their own experiments, develop classroom explorations, take away images, access the Web site in their classrooms, or share materials with other teachers.
