An award is made to James C Wyant College, The University of Arizona, to develop a high- performance reflective microscope for biological research. This project will advance biological research by simplifying the microscopic imaging system and enabling new biological data collection not previously possible. The microscope design will enable a better understanding of subcellular structures and cellular processes. It will also have major societal impacts through research, education, and research training of the future U.S. research workforce on instrumentation innovation and biological sciences. The innovation project will address unmet needs for microscope imaging for biological research. The microscope will provide new capabilities for high-resolution imaging across the spectrum from UV to far-IR. The new microscope will not only simplify the configurations of the current multimodal imaging systems and data acquisition process over a wide spectral range, but also open new doors to biological research not possible with current refractive and reflective microscopes. The new imaging modality will enhance methods for current biological data collection and enable the collection of new biological data and information to generate knowledge and advance the field of biology.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

亚利桑那大学的詹姆斯·C·怀恩特学院（James C Wyant College）颁发了奖励，以开发出高性能反射性显微镜以进行生物学研究。该项目将通过简化微观成像系统并实现以前无法实现新的生物数据收集来推动生物学研究。 显微镜设计将使对亚细胞结构和细胞过程有更好的了解。它还将通过对未来的美国仪器创新和生物科学研究劳动力的研究，教育和研究培训产生重大的社会影响。 创新项目将满足对生物学研究的显微镜成像的未满足需求。显微镜将为从紫外线到Far-Ir的光谱上的高分辨率成像提供新的功能。 新的显微镜不仅将简化广泛频谱范围内当前多模式成像系统和数据采集过程的配置，而且还可以使用当前的折射率和反射显微镜为生物学开辟新的新门。 新的成像方式将增强当前生物数据收集的方法，并能够收集新的生物学数据和信息，以产生知识并推进生物学领域。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来进行评估的。
