THE SAN FRANCISCO LASER CENTER

建议建立生物技术资源，以促进 激光在生物医学研究中的应用。资源将会扩大 现有的旧金山激光中心的运营，美国国家科学基金会的地区性 激光贷款机制，以提供激光和相关技术 支持生物医学研究。广泛的最先进的 激光系统将可用于短期借给科学和 医学研究人员。中心的工作人员将向潜在用户提供以下建议 激光使用和性能的方方面面。工作人员将维护和 安装激光装置。他们将以适当的方式提供现场指导 以及设备的安全运行。一种发展激光的新方案 生物医学仪器与现有的贷款努力平行，以推动 最先进的仪器仪表和应用技术。 资源的建立将提供一个前所未有的机会 研究科学家将激光技术应用于试图解决 生物医学问题。这将是一种最具成本效益的测试手段 创新的方法和想法，以提高对 生命的进程。

It is proposed that a biotechnology resource be established to promote the application of lasers in biomedical research. The resource would broaden the operation of the existing San Francisco Laser Center, an NSF regional laser lending facility, to provide its lasers and related technology in support of biomedical research. An extensive array of state-of-the-art laser systems would be available for short-term loan to scientific and medical researcher. Staff of the center would advise prospective users on all aspects of laser use and performance. The staff would maintain and install the lasers. They would provide on-site instructions in the proper and safe operation of the equipment. A new program to develop laser biomedical instrumentation parallels the existing lending effort to push state-of-the-art techniques in instrumentation and applications. Establishment of the resource would provide an unprecedented opportunity to the research scientist to apply laser technology in attempts to solve biomedical problems. It would be a most cost-effective means for testing innovative approaches and ideas to improve upon the basic understanding of life processes.
