A grant has been awarded to Indiana University under the direction of Dr. Suchetana Mukhopadhyay to acquire a dual high resolution and cryo transmission electron microscope for research and teaching. The instrument will give a group of eight researchers a powerful tool for observing the structure of cellular structures, including internal membranes, flagella, protein complexes, and other structures that require cryo (extremely cold) preparation conditions. The high resolution capability will enhance a materials science program, in particular in studies of nanostructure and crystalline lattices of polymers. The instrument will be used by undergraduate and graduate students in their research in the life sciences and materials science. The device will foster interdisciplinary research in Biology, Chemistry, and Geological Sciences. Images from the instrument will be used in exhibits in the WonderLab science museum, as well as in "show-and-tell" program for K-12 schools during a statewide Life Science Week in Indiana.

在Suchetana Mukhopadhyay博士的指导下，已授予印第安纳大学的一笔赠款，以获得双重分辨率和冷冻传输电子显微镜进行研究和教学。 该仪器将为一组八组研究人员提供一个强大的工具，用于观察细胞结构的结构，包括内部膜，鞭毛，蛋白质复合物以及其他需要冷冻（极冷）制备条件的结构。 高分辨率能力将增强材料科学计划，特别是在聚合物的纳米结构和结晶晶格中。 本科生和研究生将在他们的生命科学和材料科学研究中使用该乐器。 该设备将促进生物学，化学和地质科学方面的跨学科研究。 该乐器的图像将用于Wonderlab科学博物馆的展览，以及在印第安纳州的全州生活科学周期间，在K-12学校的“表演和演出”计划中。
