Instrument Design Module

视觉研究中心核心助学金的仪器设计模块提供设计， 支持和推进生理学创新的仪器原型和结构 休斯顿大学的光学和视觉研究。该模块包括一台配备齐全的 机械车间、电子车间和特殊的支持人员。该模块的作用是 满足调查人员从设计咨询到原型制作和 具有特殊光学、电子和机械要求的仪器的建造。 该模块还对实验室开发的和商业可用的进行了修改 验光/眼科仪器，以满足特定的视力研究需要，除修复和 维护现有仪器。该模块的一个独特功能是波前制导 光学部分配有DAC 2X-ALM隐形眼镜车床，用于满足各种特殊镜片的需求 研究项目包括视力矫正、视觉感知和近视发展/控制。 核心调查人员和合作者大量使用该模块。仪器设计 模块由Borish Endowed教授GeunYoung Yoon博士监督，他有两个活跃的 由NEI资助的R01赠款，以及30多年的设计和建造经验 为他自己的研究项目定制开发光学、激光和机械仪器。

The Instrument Design Module of the Center Core Grant for Vision Research provides designs, prototypes and construction of instrumentation to support and advance innovative physiological optics and vision research at the University of Houston. The Module includes a fully equipped machine shop, an electronics shop, and exceptional support personnel. The Module works to meet the needs of the investigators from consultations about design, to prototyping and constructing of instrumentation with particular optical, electronic, and mechanical requirements. The module also provides modifications to both laboratory-developed and commercially available optometric/ophthalmic instruments to meet specific vision research needs in addition to repair and maintenance of existing instruments. A unique feature of the Module is the wavefront-guided optics section with a DAC 2X-ALM contact lens lathe for special lens needs for a wide range of research projects including vision correction, visual perception and myopia development/control. The Module is heavily utilized by Core investigators and collaborators. The Instrument Design Module is supervised by Dr. Geunyoung Yoon (Borish Endowed Professor) who has two active R01 grants funded by NEI, and more than 30 years of experience in designing and building custom-developed optical, laser and mechanical instrumentation for his own research projects.
