Friday Harbor Laboratories Scientific Equipment

9311701星期五港柳树(FHL)是华盛顿大学的海洋生物设施。它提供生物资源和科学设施，支持国家和国际机构的海洋科学家的工作。FHL位于华盛顿州的圣胡安群岛，位于普吉特海峡、胡安德富卡海峡和佐治亚海峡的交界处，那里出现了不同寻常的海洋生物多样性和丰富性。研究主题从细胞生物学到群落生态学，涉及动物学家、渔业生物学家、海洋学家、植物学家、古生物学家和来自不同生物医学领域的研究人员。有些生物体因为它们的生态重要性而被研究，另一些则是因为它们是研究生态、发育或生理过程的有用模型。在FHL，高度优先的是为需要海洋生物的研究提供适当的环境(仪器、实地生物资源、后勤支持)。虽然FHL业务预算的90%以上来自华盛顿州，但其工作得到FHL支持的科学人员中有65%以上来自华盛顿州以外的机构。华盛顿大学最近完成了对FHL的物理设施和学术项目的广泛审查。建议包括在10年内对设施进行广泛的更换和现代化。该大学为这一现代化计划的第一部分投入了大量资源。该项目将更换一台显微镜，作为更新的一部分。***

9311701 Willows The Friday Harbor (FHL) is the marine biological facility of the University of Washington. It offers biological resources and scientific facilities in support of the work of marine scientists from national and international institutions. FHL is located in the San Juan Islands in the State of Washington at the junction between Puget Sound, Juan de Fuca Strait and Georgia Strait where an unusual diversity and richness of marine life occurs. Topics of research range from cell biology to community ecology and engage zoologists, fisheries biologists, Oceanographers, botanists, paleobiolgists, and researchers from various biomedical fields. Some organisms are studied because of their ecological importance, others because they are useful models for the study of ecological, developmental, or physiological processes. At FHL, a high priority is placed upon providing a suitable environment (instrumentation, field biological resources, logistical support) for research that requires marine organisms. Although over 90% of the FHL operating budget comes from State of Washington, over 65% of the scientific people whose work is supported by FHL are from institutions outside the State of Washington. The University of Washington has recently completed an extensive review of physical facilities, and academic programs of the FHL. Recommendations include extensive replacement and modernization of facilities over 10 years. The University has committed significant resources to the first component of this modernization program. This project will provide for replacement of one microscope, as a part of that renewal. ***
