SBIR Phase I: Development of a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Simulator for Use in Education

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将确定设计仪器模拟器的扫描电子显微镜（SEM）组件的可行性。 成本禁止将研究和工业中使用的各种基于图像/构图的仪器纳入相关的现代科学/数学/工程/技术课程。 其中有些文书已可通过因特网获得，但学生获得这些文书的机会有限，而且一般来说，这些文书的功能不全。 第一阶段的研究目标将主要涉及以忠实地模拟基于真实的WEB的SEM操作的方式操作非常大的图像（相当于1000多个SEM图像）的方法。 重点研究领域将是开发一个图像管理和输入/输出引擎。 第一阶段的预期成果是SEM图像模拟器，以及CD/DVD媒体上的几个教育模块的概要。由RJ Lee Group提供的乐器模拟有可能在整个学年中将各种基于图像/作曲的乐器资源（通过CD或DVD）的好处分发给班级中的所有学生。 将为非正规教育和家庭市场开发一种简化的浏览器模式，并将为K学院正规教育市场开发一种先进的模式，其中包括具体的科学内容互动发现模块。

This Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase I project will determine the feasibility of designing the scanning electron microscope (SEM) component of an instrument simulator. Cost prohibits that incorporation of a variety of image/composition-based instruments used in research and industry into relevant modern science/math/ engineering/technology curricula. Some of these instruments are becoming available over the Internet, but they provide limited access to students and, in general, they are not fully functional. The research objectives in Phase I to will primarily relate to the method(s) of manipulating a very large image (the equivalent of over 1000 SEM images) in a manner that faithfully simulates the operation of a real WEB-based SEM. The key research area will be to develop an image-management and input/output engine. The anticipated deliverable of Phase I is the SEM image simulator, and the outline of several educational modules on CD/DVD media. Instrument simulation proffered by the RJ Lee Group has the potential to distribute the benefits of the resource of a variety of image/composition-based instruments (via CD or DVD) to all students in a class throughout a school year. A simplified viewer mode would be developed for the informal education and home markets, and an advanced mode incorporating specific science content interactive discovery-based modules would be developed for the K-college formal education market.
