项目摘要

DESCRIPTION: This proposal seeks funding for the purchase of the Nanotech 140GPM precision glass press molding equipment from Moore Nanotechnology Systems LLC to support NIH funded projects. This state-of-the-art instrument will greatly enhance our capabilities to rapidly prototype optical devices to accelerate progress of NIH-funded projects and extend our capabilities in developing new optical technologies for bio-imaging and clinical applications. Nanotech 140GPM, currently not available at University of Arizona (UA), can produce novel and complex glass micro optical elements which are essential for high image quality and high throughput biomedical imaging technologies, but cannot be fabricated by traditional grinding/polishing methods. Micro- optics, lens array, aspherical lens, freeform optics, and microfluidic microstructures are some examples that only the requested equipment can fabricate to speed up UA's NIH-funded projects and broaden the horizons of biomedical imaging research at UA. To support and to complement the Nanotech 140GPM, College of Optical Sciences committed to build a state- of-the-art precision optics facility dedicated to development, design, fabrication, testing and education of optical imaging technologies and devices for biomedical applications. This facility will include 140GPM precision glass press molding machine proposed in this proposal, Nanotech 350FG freeform generator the College committed to purchase, and 3D optical surface profilers current available at the College. The facility will provide a platform for rapid prototyping novel medical and biological imaging systems and will enable us to explore new design spaces, fabricate and test optical components and systems which have not been previously available. The research projects supported with the requested instrument covers both basic and translational research areas, including microendoscope for diagnosis of cancer, multimodal imaging, microfluidic system, hyperspectral imaging, microendoscope for diagnosis of Esophageal pathology, image guide surgery, high- resolution multi-color FLIM-FRET tomography, and others. The design methodologies, fabrication and testing technologies developed in this dedicated facility will greatly benefit researchers over the entire community of biomedical optical imaging. This facility will also provide an excellent opportunity to train the next generation of interdisciplinary scientists and engineers, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

描述：本提案寻求资金从 Moore Nanotechnology Systems LLC 购买 Nanotech 140GPM 精密玻璃压制成型设备，以支持 NIH 资助的项目。这种最先进的仪器将大大增强我们快速制作光学设备原型的能力，以加速 NIH 资助的项目的进展，并扩展我们为生物成像和临床应用开发新光学技术的能力。亚利桑那大学 (UA) 目前还没有 Nanotech 140GPM，它可以生产新颖且复杂的玻璃微光学元件，这对于高图像质量和高通量生物医学成像技术至关重要，但无法通过传统的研磨/抛光方法制造。微光学器件、透镜阵列、非球面透镜、自由曲面光学器件和微流体微结构是只有所需设备才能制造的一些例子，以加快 UA 的 NIH 资助项目并拓宽 UA 生物医学成像研究的视野。为了支持和补充 Nanotech 140GPM，光学科学学院致力于建设最先进的精密光学设施，致力于生物医学应用光学成像技术和设备的开发、设计、制造、测试和教育。该设施将包括本提案中提出的 140GPM 精密玻璃压模机、学院承诺购买的 Nanotech 350FG 自由曲面发生器以及学院现有的 3D 光学表面轮廓仪。该设施将提供一个平台用于快速原型制作新颖的医学和生物成像系统，并使我们能够探索新的设计空间，制造和测试以前从未有过的光学组件和系统。所需仪器支持的研究项目涵盖基础和转化研究领域，包括用于癌症诊断的显微内窥镜、多模态成像、微流控系统、高光谱成像、用于食管病理诊断的显微内窥镜、图像引导手术、高分辨率多色FLIM-FRET断层扫描等。在这个专用设施中开发的设计方法、制造和测试技术将使整个生物医学光学成像领域的研究人员受益匪浅。该设施还将提供绝佳的机会来培训本科生和研究生的下一代跨学科科学家和工程师。
