HIGH-PERFORMANCE EM FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH

This application has two goals. The first is to replace an outdated
and unreliable electron microscope with a current, reliable model.
The second goal is to extend the capabilities available to the
Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology through the installation
of a high performance electron microscope with special ancillary
devices to which we currently do not have access. Together, this
will give ongoing PHS supported biomedical research projects
within the department: (1) enhanced quality of ultrastructural
information, (2) increased efficiency for gaining this information,
and (3) the ability to acquire new ultrastructural information not
previously obtainable.
