0116610SaylerThis是一个建议，以获得所需的仪器耦合多用途扫描探针显微镜与光子计数增强CCD相机成像系统和可调液晶滤波器，以实现两个目标。 首先，该仪器将创建一个多用途的测试床，用于研究报告细胞，核酸和酶在专门基质上的发光和光谱过程，从而推进对生物微电子学和纳米生物技术的基本理解。 第二，该工具将大大改善基础设施，扩大大学科学和工程界的研究和培训工作。 此外，仪器将用于微生物学，生物化学，电气工程和地质学课程。

0116610SaylerThis is a proposal to acquire the instruments needed to couple a multi-purpose scanning probe microscope with a photon counting intensified CCD camera imaging system and a tunable liquid crystal filter to accomplish two objectives. First, the instrumentation will create a multi-purpose test bed for the study of luminescence and spectral processes of reporter cells, nucleic acids, and enzymes at specialized substrata, thereby advancing fundamental understanding of biomicroelectronics and nanobiotechnology. Second, the instrument will dramatically improve the infrastructure and expand the research and training efforts of the scientific and engineering communities at the University. In addition, the instrumentation will be used in courses in Microbiology, Biochemistry, Electrical Engineering, and Geology.
