Center for Computer Visualization of Microscope Image Data

该奖项为一组研究人员提供资金，用于开发新一代定量荧光显微镜/成像工作站。该项目所需的技术来自荧光显微镜、图像分析、计算机科学和计算机动画。将开发的一个工作站将用于活细胞的荧光光谱，另一个将用于免疫荧光研究和使用荧光探针进行原位核杂交。近年来，视频记录和基于计算机的图像分析技术的应用在用于检查活细胞和固定细胞的光学显微镜的设计和使用方面开始了一场革命。这些发展的持续进展有赖于若干不同学科的知识。卡内基梅隆大学在其生物医学荧光研究中心聚集了一批杰出的研究人员和技术人员；他们将为这个项目带来必要的技能和多样性。

This award provides funds to a group of investigators for the development of a new generation of quantitative fluorescence microscopy/imaging workstations. The techniques required for the project come from fluorescence microscopy, image analysis, computer science, and computer animation. One of the workstations to be developed will be useful in fluorescence spectroscopy of living cells, the other in immunofluorescence studies and in the use of fluorescent probes for in situ nucleic hybridization. In recent years, the application of video recording and computer based image analysis techniques has begun a revolution in the design and use of light microscopes for the examination of both living and fixed cells. Continued progress in these developments is dependent on knowledge in a number of different disciplines. Carnegie Mellon has assembled an outstanding group of investigators and technical staff in its Center for Fluorescence Research in Biomedical Sciences; they will bring the necessary level of skill and diversity to this project.
