This proposal requests funding to purchase the optical components required to upgrade an existing microscope with capabilities for polarized light, differential interference contrast and fluorescence microscopy. These optical microscopy capabilities are essential for the characterization of functional micro and nanostructured materials and will yield information that is currently unavailable to the applicant and co-applicants through other techniques, such as the anisotropy inherent to structured materials, the liquid crystalline behaviour of nanoparticles, or the distribution of fluorescent moieties in biomaterials.

该提案要求提供资金，用于购买升级现有显微镜所需的光学部件，使其具有偏振光、微分干涉对比和荧光显微镜的能力。这些光学显微镜的能力是必不可少的功能性微米和纳米结构的材料的表征，并将产生信息，目前是不可用的申请人和共同申请人通过其他技术，如结构材料固有的各向异性，纳米粒子的液晶行为，或生物材料中的荧光部分的分布。
