Fluorescence microscope with enhanced deconvolution (structured illumination and optical sectioning) imaging capabilities

我们正在申请资金用于立式复合荧光显微镜的电动聚焦，高分辨率数码相机，结构照明/光学切片（SI/OS）硬件，软件和计算机，这将提供增强的反褶积成像能力。这台仪器将作为艾利森山大学的跨部门共享资源，并将成为新不伦瑞克省唯一一台具有这种成像能力的显微镜。所有五个申请人的研究方案的成功在很大程度上取决于能否获得这种成像能力。拟议的设备将提供共聚焦显微镜所需的所有功能，大大降低了初始、维护和旅行成本。消除差旅和维修开支所节省的费用可用于生产性研究。

We are requesting funding for an upright compound fluorescence microscope with motorized focus, a high-resolution digital camera, structured illumination/optical sectioning (SI/OS) hardware, software and computer, which will provided enhanced deconvolution imaging capacity. This instrument will be used as a shared inter-departmental resource at Mt. Allison University and would be the only microscope in New Brunswick with such imaging capability. The success of the research programmes of all five applicants is critically dependent on access to such imaging capabilities. The proposed equipment will provide all of the required capabilities of a confocal microscope, at substantially reduced initial, maintenance and travel cost. Cost savings from the elimination of travel and maintenance expenditures could be directed to productive research.
