Acquisition of Analytical Electron Microscropy Facilities

9413517格林这项奖励提供部分资金，用于购买将作为加州大学河滨分校校园设施安装和运营的透射式电子显微镜。该大学承诺提供购买该仪器所需的剩余资金。新的专业技术教育中心将为河滨校区的12个系提供服务。新设施的用户广泛分布在从物理到生物科学的一系列学科中。需要新的瞬变显微镜分析和成像能力的个别研究项目包括调查深源地震的原因、线虫的演化、下丘脑-神经垂体系统和细胞通讯机制。***

9413517 Green This award provides partial funding for the acquisition of a transmission electron microscope (TEM) to be installed and operated as a campus facility of the University of California at Riverside. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds needed to acquire the instrument. The new TEM will serve twelve departments on the Riverside campus. Users of the new facility are spread broadly across a spectrum of disciplines ranging from the physical to the biological sciences. Individual research programs needing the analytical and imaging capabilities of the new TEM include investigations of the cause of deep- focus earthquakes, evolution of Nematoda, the hypothalamo- neurohypophysial system, and cell communication mechanisms. ***
