We request purchase of Zeiss "Shuttle and Find" technology which serves as the interface for state-of-the-art correlative microscopy. Zeiss "Shuttle and Find" allows the taking of fluorescent confocal microscope image and then overlay the same ultrastructural image with a Zeiss Merlin electron microscope. The U of Waterloo is unique in Canada in possessing both Zeiss confocal and Zeiss scanning electron Zeiss microscopes (total cost >4 million dollars) that are compatible with state-of-the-art correlative microscopy. Besides the "Shuttle and Find" technology, we also require basic upgrades to Waterloo's primary confocal microsope which includes basic laser lines, bright-field transmitted light illumination and detection, and objectives.

我们要求购买Zeiss“ Shuttle and Find”技术，该技术是最先进的相关显微镜的接口。 Zeiss的“班车和查找”允许采取荧光共聚焦显微镜图像，然后用Zeiss Merlin电子显微镜覆盖相同的超微结构图像。 滑铁卢的U在加拿大具有独特的Zeiss共焦和Zeiss扫描电子Zeiss显微镜（总成本> 400万美元），与最先进的相关显微镜兼容。 除了“航天飞机和找到”技术外，我们还需要对滑铁卢的主要共聚焦微压进行基本的升级，该镜头包括基本的激光线，明亮场传输的光照明和检测以及目标。
