This proposal requests a hardware and software upgrade to a Zeiss 510 confocal microscope system. Confocal microscopy is a technique used to study fluorescent-stained specimens in 3-dimensions. The confocal microscope equipped with a series of scanning lasers allows for multiple records of colors at the same time and is able to section a specimen (e.g. a cell) optically without significantly damaging the specimen. Therefore, 4-D images (XYZ + time) could be subsequently reconstructed so that interested details and their relationship could be localized.

该提案要求对Zeiss 510共聚焦显微镜系统进行硬件和软件升级。 共聚焦显微镜是一种用于三维研究荧光染色标本的技术。 配备一系列扫描激光器的共聚焦显微镜允许同时记录多种颜色，并且能够在不显著损坏样本的情况下光学地切片样本（例如细胞）。因此，4-D图像（XYZ +时间）可以随后重建，以便可以定位感兴趣的细节及其关系。
