DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): High resolution morphological analysis is an integral part of biological investigations under both physiological and pathological conditions. The fine structure modifications induced during cell motility or cellular secretion are captured in high resolution by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. Similarly, morphological changes observed in sub-cellular organelles (late endosomes and lysosomes) during various experimental conditions can be powerfully visualized by TEM analysis. Analysis of bacteria and fungi can provide very useful information on their morphological changes under differential experimental conditions. This is a resubmission application for funding of a state of the art high resolution transmission electron microscope and an associated digital camera. The TEM the Major Users of this application are requesting will be part of the Analytical Imaging Facility (AIF, a multi user imaging resource, and available to all trained investigators. Currently, an ageing JEOL JEM-100CX TEM installed 1982 is present in the facility which does not fulfill the needs of these investigators. The common scientific need of the major user in this application is the ability to obtain high resolution imaging of cells, organelles or pathogens under different experimental conditions. A new TEM with a high brightness LaB6 electron source and CCD camera will enable high resolution imaging and digital data recording. The transmission electron microscope described in this proposal will allow the assembled Major Users to analyze pathogen morphology; fine structural aspect of endosomal biogenesis and protein distribution; and granule secretion which will be otherwise precluded.

描述（由申请人提供）：高分辨率的形态分析是生理和病理条件下生物学研究不可或缺的一部分。通过透射电子显微镜（TEM）分析，在细胞运动或细胞分泌过程中引起的细胞结构修饰被高分辨率捕获。同样，可以通过TEM分析在各种实验条件下观察到在各种实验条件下观察到的形态变化（晚期内体和溶酶体）。分析细菌和真菌可以提供有关其在差异实验条件下形态变化的非常有用的信息。这是用于资助最先进的高分辨率传输电子显微镜和相关数码相机的重新提取的申请。本应用程序的主要用户要求将是分析成像设施的一部分（AIF，多用户成像资源，可用于所有训练有素的研究人员。目前，在设施中安装了1982年的衰老衰老的JEOL JEOL JEEL JEM-100CX TEM，该设施中存在，无法满足这些应用程序的主要使用者的常见能力，以便在该应用程序中获得较高的范围。具有高亮度的LAB6电子源和CCD摄像头的新变速器将使该提案中描述的透射式电子显微镜能够分析病原体形态。
