The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded West Virginia University Research Corporation $229,490 on August 15, 2026, to acquire an LSM 900 confocal microscope system with Airyscan 2 technology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The microscope system includes an environmental control chamber for imaging living biological samples over time and delivers gentle, fast, and super-resolution imaging capabilities. The platform extends research capacity for visualization of biological specimens in neuroscience, ophthalmology, and cell biology that was not previously possible. The system will be housed in the Department of Biology at West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia, with performance through July 31, 2029. West Virginia University will manage the microscope through a faculty team with confocal microscopy expertise and will make the system available to collaborative researchers at Bluefield State University and Shepherd University, supporting student training across the state. The acquisition will enhance research competitiveness, strengthen the job-market readiness of junior trainees, and expand scientific collaborations among West Virginia researchers.
