NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
The proposed instrument will allow cellular imaging at the nanoscale with resolution and sensitivity that are much higher than what is currently possible with optical microscopy. The instrument will combine the state-of-the-art confocal microscope and a partial wave spectroscopy module. The instrument will allow quantification of cellular nanoscale architecture with sensitivity up to a few nanometers, molecular as well as structural imaging in nearly real time. The instrument will work with live as well as fixed cells.The instrumentation takes advantage of a novel optical technology, single-cell partial-wave spectroscopic microscopy. The instrument will provide information about cell nanoarchitecture and its relationship to molecular events, which has not been possible to obtain before. The proposed microscope will be a unique device that will open new directions for basic science as well as translational research including cell biology, bioengineering and development of novel diagnostic devices, nanotechnology, fundamental electromagnetics, tissue engineering, and macromolecular biophysics.

| Description of Jobs Created |
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds have significantly aided the research mission of Northwestern University by providing salary and wage compensation for individuals directly involved in ARRA-funded projects, both at Northwestern and at consortium institutions, as well as at the vendor organizations who provide goods and services in support of that mission. Northwestern has employed a standard methodology for determining jobs created or retained, based on revised guidance presented by OMB on 12-18-09 (ref. M-10-08). Jobs are reported in aggregate for the grant, comprised of calculated figures for hourly and salaried employees at Northwestern plus the reported jobs created or retained by subrecipients. The number of Northwestern hourly employees will be calculated as the number of hours charged to the grant during the quarter divided by the standard hours in a full-time schedule for the quarter. The number of Northwestern salaried employees will be calculated based on the paid effort charged to the grant during the quarter. There are currently no NU jobs created or retained by this ARRA funded project for the reported period. Jobs reported are from Vendor purchases greater than $25,000. |
