MRI: Acquisition of Instrumentation Supporting Quantitative Spectral and Image Analysis

在David S. Leaf博士的指导下，西华盛顿大学获得了一项奖励，用于研究和教育需要测量定量化学发光的仪器系统。将获得几件设备，包括几台显微镜和用于检测蛋白质和其他重要生物化学化合物的平板阅读器。这些新仪器将加强利用发光来研究细胞结构、海洋动物生长发育、深海喷口细菌分类以及植物结构和功能的研究。这些仪器将用于本科生课程和学生研究。该仪器将用于一门针对少数民族学生的海洋科学课程。

An award has been made to Western Washington University under the direction of Dr. David S. Leaf for the acquisition of an instrument system for research and education requiring measurement of quantitative chemiluminescence. Several pieces of equipment will be acquired, including several microscopes and plate readers for detection of proteins and other biochemically important compounds. The new instruments will enhance research employing luminescence to study cellular structure, growth and development of marine animals, classification of bacteria from deep sea vents, and plant structure and function. The instruments will be used in courses for undergraduates and for student research. The instrument will be used in a marine science course aimed at minority students.
