This award will be used for a new state-of-the-art Nikon microscope with transmitted-reflected light, fluorenscence, phase contrast and Nomarski capabilities for geologic and microbiologic studies. The scope will also have high-resolution color and black and white digital cameras, and an advanced image analyses system that will allow documentation and analyses of spatially co-registered petrographic and microbiological observaions. Cost share provided by UW is about 14%. The new scope is needed for research focused on the linkages among geological and microbiological processes within submarine environments. Fundamental to understanding these complex systems is the ability to make detailed, integrated, microbiological observations in the context of the rocks that host these unique communities.

该奖项将用于购买一款新型最先进的尼康显微镜，该显微镜具有透射反射光、荧光、相差和诺马斯基功能，用于地质和微生物研究。 该示波器还将配备高分辨率彩色和黑白数码相机，以及先进的图像分析系统，该系统将允许对空间共同注册的岩相学和微生物观测结果进行记录和分析。 华盛顿大学提供的成本份额约为 14%。 需要新的范围来研究海底环境中地质和微生物过程之间的联系。 了解这些复杂系统的基础是能够在这些独特群落的岩石背景下进行详细、综合的微生物观察。
