DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests funds for the purchase of a Leica TCS SP5 confocal microscope. The Leica TCS SP5 is a single point broadband confocal modular platform equipped with an RGB (HeNe 633nm, HeNe 594nm, HeNe 543, Argon 458/476/488/496/514) and a UV-diode laser (405 nm). It is being requested for the purpose of upgrading the confocal facility at the SBU Center for Developmental Genetics (CDG). The current SP2 system available to the CDG researchers is over eight years old and no longer meets the technical requirements of the center. The SP5 will address several difficulties currently affecting our researchers, thereby promoting the research objectives and productivity of nine distinguished scientists from Stony Brook University (SBU). The system will allow the center to remain competitive by providing researchers with increased sensitivity, fast-scanning capabilities, and a UV laser line for imaging, photo-activation, and FRET experiments. Management and operation of the confocal system will be provided by a technical specialist, who will also assist users in developing staining and imaging protocols for special projects, as well helping investigators in the analysis of confocal data.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求购买Leica TCS SP5共聚焦显微镜的资金。 Leica TCS SP5是一个配备RGB（Hene 633nm，Hene 594nm，Hene 543，Argon 458/476/488/496/514）和UV-DIODE LASER（405 nm）的单点宽带共聚焦模块化平台。要求它在SBU发育遗传学中心（CDG）升级共聚焦设施的目的。 CDG研究人员可用的当前SP2系统已有八年的历史，不再满足该中心的技术要求。 SP5将解决目前影响我们的研究人员的几个困难，从而促进了Stony Brook University（SBU）的九位杰出科学家的研究目标和生产力。该系统将通过为研究人员提供提高灵敏度，快速扫描功能以及用于成像，照片激活和FRET实验的紫外线激光线，使中心保持竞争力。共聚焦系统的管理和操作将由技术专家提供，他们还将协助用户为特殊项目开发染色和成像协议，并帮助调查人员进行共聚焦数据分析。
