Instrumentation for Undergraduate Instruction in Biological Microscopy and Image Analysis

该奖项为德克萨斯农工大学生物系提供资金，用于升级现有课程《显微镜原理》的仪器。这是一门创新课程，涵盖光学显微镜和数字化图像分析的发展，并强调图像记录。本课程将帮助高级本科学生为使用现代光学和图像分析的职业做好准备。购买的仪器包括视频和35毫米照相机、用于图像分析的计算机和软件，以及升级现有显微镜的附件。这些改进也将有利于其他高年级课程的学生，执行特殊项目的高年级荣誉学生，并将改善大一荣誉生物学的教学。这些发展将提高本科生的研究技能，从而鼓励他们继续深造。受助人将与非联邦来源的奖励相匹配。

This award provides funds to the Biology Department at Texas A & M University for upgrading instrumentation for an existing course, Principles of Microscopy. This is an innovative course, covering developments in light microscopy and digitized image analysis, and emphasizing image recording. The course will help prepare advanced undergraduate students for careers which use modern optics and image analysis. Instruments to be purchased include video and 35 mm cameras, computers and software for image analysis, and accessories for upgrading existing microscopes. The improvements will also benefit students in other upper division courses, senior honors students executing special projects and will improve instruction in freshman honors biology. The developments will enhance the research skills of undergraduates, thereby encouraging them to pursue graduate education. The grantee is matching this award with non-Federal sources.
