We are requesting support to purchase a research calibre upright light microscope equipped with accessories such as fluorescence, polarizing analyser, digital camera, computer with imaging software for advanced image analysis. We will use this microscope in our studies of the structure and function of advanced food materials, delivery matrices for bioactive compounds including nutraceuticals, antimicrobials and probiotics, tissue engineering and activities of microorganisms in food systems. This microscope will be located in the department's multiuser Biosafety Level 2 microbiology laboratory and serve as a work horse for all associated faculty members and their HQP in training. Briefly, our research covers a wide range of areas in food chemistry, food engineering, biomaterials, biomedical engineering, fermentation and food microbiology.

我们请求支持购买一台研究口径的直立光学显微镜，配备荧光、偏振分析仪、数码相机、带成像软件的计算机等配件，以进行高级图像分析。我们将使用这种显微镜在我们的结构和先进的食品材料的功能，生物活性化合物，包括营养保健品，抗菌剂和益生菌，组织工程和微生物在食品系统中的活动的传递矩阵的研究。该显微镜将位于该部门的多用户生物安全2级微生物学实验室，并作为所有相关教职员工及其HQP培训的工作马。简而言之，我们的研究涵盖了食品化学，食品工程，生物材料，生物医学工程，发酵和食品微生物学的广泛领域。
