a.模块的功能 仪表模块有几个基本功能。首先是提供电力， 机械和计算机硬件工程专业知识， 实现新的设备和仪器。此功能对于CVS至关重要 研究人员将继续在视觉研究方面开辟新天地。一个例子是， 测量和校正眼睛中的光学像差的兴趣不仅在人类中， 也在动物模型中。在仪器核心的支持下，罗切斯特大学 已经成为先进波前传感器和自适应光学发展的领导者 用于改进接触透镜设计和屈光手术以及用于高分辨率透镜的系统 视网膜成像在未来5年内，对该模块的需求将更大，因为我们 引领下一代波阵面仪器第二个关键功能是 模块是通过开发和促进内部和外部合作， 部署共享的技术和专门知识。例如，仪表模块是 一个新的，共享的，虚拟现实实验室的发展的关键组成部分，研究 视觉控制运动，这种创新的方法现在将被复制在医疗 中心该模块的一个辅助（尽管是必不可少的）角色是持续的支持、调试 并复制已开发的技术，以保持CVS的高生产率 研究人员和合作者。随着CVS在过去5年的发展， 研究方法和新技术应用于视觉研究， 仪表舱迅速发展专家组的经验和专门知识 模块的工作人员是CVS研究工作的基础。

a. Functions of the module The instrumentation module has several essential functions. The first is to provide the electrical, mechanical, and computer hardware engineering expertise necessary for the development and implementation of novel devices and instrumentation. This capability is essential for CVS researchers to continue to break new ground in vision research. One example is the growing interest in measuring and correcting the optical aberrations in the eye not only in humans, but also in animal models. With the support of the instrumentation core the University of Rochester has become a leader in the development of advanced wavefront sensors and adaptive optics systems for improving contact lens design and refractive surgery and also for high-resolution retinal imaging. In the next 5 years, there will be even greater demand for this module, as we usher in the next generation of wavefront instrumentation. A second critical function of this module is the facilitation of intra- and extramural collaborations through the development and deployment of shared technologies and expertise. For instance the instrumentation module was a key component in the development of a new, shared, virtual reality laboratory for studying the visual control of movement, and this innovative approach will now be replicated in the Medical Center. A subsidiary (although essential) role of the module is continuing support, debugging and replication of developed technologies in order to maintain the high productivity of CVS researchers and collaborators. As CVS has grown over the past 5 years and as new approaches to research and new technologies are applied to vision research, the demands on the instrumentation module have burgeoned. The experience and specialized expertise of the module's staff lie at the foundation of the CVS research effort.
