DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A modern electron microscope with digital imaging capabilities is an essential research tool for biology and medicine. Sixteen major users of electron microscopy request funds to replace an existing research transmission electron microscope, purchased in 1986 with an NCRR, SIG. The instrumentation requested is an FEI TECNAI G2 12 BioTwin/CCD Camera Version. The FEI TECNAI was selected because it is a new generation microscope with full computer control and advanced user interfaces. It is an ideal, general purpose, multiuser transmission EM. Our University is in the midst of building a new campus, The Fitzsimons Campus. Basic sciences will move into Research Complex I, construction will be complete, early in 2004. An EM facility for the Fitzsimons campus is being built in the basement of Research Complex I, which will house the TECNAI and ancillary equipment needed for a modem EM core. The current EM will be retained on the present campus for use by the faculty who will remain until approximately 2010. The facility director, manager, organization and oversight committee of the shared facility are already established and working well. The facility director and the manager both have exceedingly good organizational skills and an impressive combined expertise in EM techniques. The sixteen major users will pursue questions integral to their NIH funded research and the availability of this instrumentation will enhance their NIH funded research.

描述（由申请人提供）：具有数字成像功能的现代电子显微镜是生物学和医学的重要研究工具。电子显微镜的 16 个主要用户请求资金来更换现有的研究型透射电子显微镜，该显微镜是 1986 年使用 NCRR、SIG 购买的。所需的仪器是 FEI TECNAI G2 12 BioTwin/CCD 相机版本。选择 FEI TECNAI 是因为它是新一代显微镜，具有完全计算机控制和先进的用户界面。它是一种理想的通用多用户传输 EM。我们的大学正在建设新校区，菲茨西蒙斯校区。基础科学将进入研究综合体 I，建设将于 2004 年初完成。菲茨西蒙斯校区的 EM 设施正在研究综合体 I 的地下室建造，其中将容纳 TECNAI 和现代 EM 核心所需的辅助设备。目前的 EM 将保留在现有校园内，供教员使用，直至 2010 年左右。共享设施的设施主任、经理、组织和监督委员会已经成立并运作良好。设施主管和经理都拥有非常出色的组织能力和令人印象深刻的 EM 技术综合专业知识。十六个主要用户将追求其 NIH 资助的研究中不可或缺的问题，并且该仪器的可用性将增强他们 NIH 资助的研究。
