DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request an AMT dual CCD camera system for our existing Philips CM 120 electron microscope in order to perform high-contrast digital imaging of molecules and cells. The camera system will serve 8 major users and over 40 minor users in the Schools of Medicine and Public Health. The following features of the AMT camera system will enhance our imaging capabilities: (1) A side-mounted survey camera displays a high-contrast image on a large computer monitor in real time, allowing easy focusing and easy viewing of images by several investigators at a time; (2) A bottom-mounted, large-format 2k x 2k camera acquires images that have very high spatial resolution and dynamic range and which are comparable in quality to those made on film; (3) Digital imaging will be useful for the examination of low-contrast specimens, such as negatively stained specimens and, especially, lightly stained thin sections prepared for immuno-electron microscopy; (4) AMT and ImagePro software will give us flexibility for image acquisition, allow us to save images in generic TIFF format, and give us the tools we need for image processing, analysis, and archiving. The addition of this digital imaging system to our TEM will increase productivity and provide high-contrast, efficient imaging for our research.

描述（由申请人提供）： 我们为现有的飞利浦CM 120电子显微镜要求AMT双CCD摄像头系统，以便对分子和细胞进行高对比度的数字成像。相机系统将为医学和公共卫生学校中的8位主要用户和40多名未成年人服务。 AMT摄像头系统的以下功能将增强我们的成像功能：（1）侧面安装的调查摄像机可实时在大型计算机监视器上显示高对比度的图像，从而使几位调查人员一次轻松地焦点和轻松查看图像； （2）底部安装的大幅面2K x 2k摄像头可获得具有很高的空间分辨率和动态范围并且质量与胶片上的图像相当的图像； （3）数字成像将有助于检查低对比度标本，例如染色的标本，尤其是易于染色的薄片，为免疫电子显微镜制备了； （4）AMT和ImagePro软件将为我们提供图像获取的灵活性，允许我们以通用TIFF格式保存图像，并为我们提供图像处理，分析和存档所需的工具。将此数字成像系统添加到我们的TEM中将提高生产率，并为我们的研究提供高对比度，有效的成像。
