RIMI: Research Improvement - Scanning Electron Microscopy

9550720新墨西哥州巴雷拉州立大学建议通过购买高分辨率扫描电子显微镜来改善他们的科学和工程设施。第一个目标是获得和安装一种环境扫描显微镜，它既可以在不干燥或涂布的情况下对“天然”样品成像，也可以在低扫描电子能量和高扫描电子能量下对传统制备的高分辨率导电样品成像。这将加强正在进行的枯萎植物内生真菌、感觉神经细胞超微结构和气孔结构细胞特征的研究。第二年的目标是获得和安装X射线探测系统，以及用于数字图像采集、存储、处理和分析的硬件和软件。仅在头两年，就有16名本科生和9名研究生参加。***

9550720 Barrera New Mexico State University proposes the improvement of their science and engineering facilities by purchasing a high resolution scanning electron microscope. The first objective is to acquire and install an environmental scanning microscope which can image both "natural" specimens, without drying or coating, as well as conventionally prepared conducting specimens, with high resolution, at low as well as high scanning electron energies. This will enhance on-going research projects on endophytic fungi, senso- neural cell ultrastructure and characterization of stomatal structure cells in wilty plants. The second year objective is to acquire and install an x-ray detecting system, and hardware and software for digital image acquisition, storage, manipulation and analysis. Sixteen undergraduate and nine graduate students will participate in the first two years alone. ***
