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.

亚利桑那大学詹姆斯 C 怀特学院 (James C Wyant College) 获得一项奖项，用于开发用于生物研究的高性能反射显微镜。该项目将通过简化显微成像系统并实现以前不可能的新生物数据收集来推进生物研究。 显微镜设计将使人们更好地了解亚细胞结构和细胞过程。它还将通过对未来美国仪器创新和生物科学研究人员的研究、教育和研究培训产生重大社会影响。 该创新项目将解决生物研究显微镜成像未满足的需求。该显微镜将为从紫外到远红外的整个光谱提供高分辨率成像的新功能。 新型显微镜不仅将简化当前多模态成像系统的配置和宽光谱范围内的数据采集过程，而且为当前折射和反射显微镜无法实现的生物研究打开新的大门。 新的成像模式将增强当前生物数据收集的方法，并能够收集新的生物数据和信息，以产生知识并推动生物学领域的发展。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的评估进行评估，认为值得支持。智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
