Deep Ultraviolet Laser Imaging for Biology

Abstract

The proposed research instrumentation will allow for greatly enhanced scope and efficiency of the ongoing programs, which have many important Air Force applications, particularly in monitoring hazardous materials, in health monitoring, and in fast forensic identification. The objective of this research instrumentation is to provide for the enhancement and augmentation of ongoing research in the area of laser photo chemistry. Research instrumentation will be procured to enhance and augment ongoing programs in biomolecular species identification. The funding will allow purchase of a ultraviolet laser system, which will be used for study of rapid direct detection and evaluation of genetic and molecular material in large parallel micro arrays.
