DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request an AMT dual CCD camera system for our existing Philips CM 120 electron microscope in order to perform high-contrast digital imaging of molecules and cells. The camera system will serve 8 major users and over 40 minor users in the Schools of Medicine and Public Health. The following features of the AMT camera system will enhance our imaging capabilities: (1) A side-mounted survey camera displays a high-contrast image on a large computer monitor in real time, allowing easy focusing and easy viewing of images by several investigators at a time; (2) A bottom-mounted, large-format 2k x 2k camera acquires images that have very high spatial resolution and dynamic range and which are comparable in quality to those made on film; (3) Digital imaging will be useful for the examination of low-contrast specimens, such as negatively stained specimens and, especially, lightly stained thin sections prepared for immuno-electron microscopy; (4) AMT and ImagePro software will give us flexibility for image acquisition, allow us to save images in generic TIFF format, and give us the tools we need for image processing, analysis, and archiving. The addition of this digital imaging system to our TEM will increase productivity and provide high-contrast, efficient imaging for our research.

描述（由申请人提供）： 我们要求为现有的飞利浦 CM 120 电子显微镜配备 AMT 双 CCD 摄像头系统，以便对分子和细胞进行高对比度数字成像。该摄像系统将为医学院和公共卫生学院的 8 个主要用户和 40 多个次要用户提供服务。 AMT摄像系统的以下功能将增强我们的成像能力：（1）侧面安装的调查摄像头可在大型计算机显示器上实时显示高对比度图像，便于多个调查人员同时轻松对焦和查看图像； (2) 底部安装的大画幅 2k x 2k 相机可获取具有非常高的空间分辨率和动态范围的图像，其质量可与胶片拍摄的图像相媲美； (3) 数字成像将有助于检查低对比度标本，例如负染色标本，特别是为免疫电子显微镜制备的浅染色薄片； (4) AMT 和 ImagePro 软件将为我们提供图像采集的灵活性，允许我们以通用 TIFF 格式保存图像，并为我们提供图像处理、分析和归档所需的工具。在我们的 TEM 中添加该数字成像系统将提高生产力，并为我们的研究提供高对比度、高效的成像。
