CORE--MORPHOLOGY

形态学模块将继续作为解剖学/细胞生物学的中心设施 为NEI资助的核心视觉科学家提供光学和电子显微镜专业知识优先使用的部门。通过核心赠款、部门、机构和个人R01支持，该模块得到了扩展和增强，并提供了广泛的能力，这些能力不仅将加强NEI正在进行的工作，而且将促进新的筹资机会和合作，如下所示。该模块包含JEOL 1010变速箱和840A扫描EM。1900平方英尺英国《金融时报》7341、7350和7354房间的形态模块斯科特·霍尔提供光学和电子显微镜、组织处理和摄影。继续为调查人员提供一流的技术支持 熟练的研究助理罗纳德·巴雷特先生。模块内的协作方式多种多样。最基本的是，该模块为NEI资助的个人提供熟练的技术专长和良好的维护设备，这些人主要不是形态学者。例如，眼科医生可能需要通过形态或摄影方法记录他感兴趣的在核心组织中分离和表征或生长的细胞群 文化设施。该单元为这一需要提供的援助类型是简单的，但对个人来说却很重要。协作还可包括协助制定实验方案、确定要使用的适当固定剂、对形态数据进行解释、摄影图形准备，以及最后在提交手稿方面可能进行的协作。该单元的目标也是通过提供技术援助、设备供应以及与不同领域的VISION研究人员的互动，以较低的优先事项加强那些寻求NEI资金的人的合作和生产力。这些类型的协作和互动目前由该设施提供，单元主任的目标是继续鼓励和扩大这些协作和互动。

The Morphology Module will continue to be a centralized facility in the Anatomy/Cell Biology Department that provides both light and electron microscopic expertise with priority of use to NEI funded Core vision scientists. The Module has been expanded and enhanced with Core grant, Departmental, Institutional, and individual R01 support and offers a wide range of capabilities which will not only enhance ongoing NEI funded work but which will facilitate new funding opportunities and collaborations as evidenced below. The Module contains the JEOL 1010 transmission and the 840A scanning EM. The 1900 sq. ft. Morphology Module in rooms 7341, 7350 and 7354 Scott Hall provides for light and electron microscopy, tissue processing and photography. Superb technical support to investigators continues to be provided by a skilled research assistant, Mr. Ronald Barrett. Collaboration within the Module occurs in a variety of ways. Most basically, the Module provides skilled technical expertise and well-maintained equipment to NEI funded individuals who are not primarily morphologists. For example, an ophthalmologist may need to document by morphological or photographic methods a cell population that he is interested in isolating and characterizing or growing in the Core tissue culture facility. The type of assistance provided by the Module for this need is at a simple, yet important level to that individual. Collaboration may also consist of assistance in experimental protocol development, determining appropriate fixatives to be utilized, interpretation of morphological data, photographic figure preparation and lastly, possible collaboration in manuscript submission. It is also the goal of the Module to enhance, at lower priority, collaboration and productivity of those who are seeking NEI funds by providing technical assistance, equipment availability and interaction with vision researchers of diverse fields. These types of collaborations and interactions are currently provided for by the facility and it is the goal of the Module director to continue to encourage and expand them.
