MRI: Acquisition of a Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope for Research and Training in the Natural Sciences at California State University, Long Beach

在布鲁诺·佩内特博士的指导下，加州州立大学长滩分校获得了一项奖励，用于购买用于研究和教学的激光扫描共聚焦显微镜。新的显微镜将支持细胞及其内部结构的研究，分辨率比目前可能的更高。该显微镜将支持十几名生物、化学和心理学的教职员工，其中包括几名新聘用的教职员工。将受益的研究包括真菌和哺乳动物细胞的生长和发育、草本植物的发育、肌肉细胞中的基因表达以及鸟类的神经结构和功能。该机构有大量的西班牙裔人口，他们可以预期参与研究项目，并在他们的课堂上受益于这种乐器。研究生将在他们的硕士学位研究中使用该仪器。

An award has been made to California State University-Long Beach under the direction of Dr. Bruno Pernet for the acquisition of a laser scanning confocal microscope for research and teaching. The new microscope will support studies of cells and their internal structures at a finer resolution than currently possible. The microscope will support a dozen faculty members in biology, chemistry, and psychology, including several newly hired faculty. Research that will benefit includes studies of growth and development of fungal and mammalian cells, development of grass plants, gene expression in muscle cells, and neural structure and function in birds. The institution has a large Hispanic population, who can be expected to participate in research projects and to benefit from the instrument in their classes. Graduate students will use the instrument in their Masters Degree research.
