The University of Montana received a $1,328,615 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to acquire a Leica Stellaris 8 hybrid confocal and two-photon microscope system. The award, obligated on July 15, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2027, will provide advanced imaging instrumentation to be integrated into the Biospectroscopy Core Research Laboratory (BCRL), a component of the NIH COBRE-funded Center for Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics at the institution. The microscope will replace the university's existing Zeiss 880 confocal microscope, which has been operational since 2016 and lacks adequate fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) capabilities and two-photon imaging functionality. The Leica Stellaris 8 system will deliver enhanced research capabilities for the University of Montana's biomedical research programs and participating regional institutions, addressing critical deficiencies in current imaging capacity. The instrument features integrated FLIM functionality without requiring third-party equipment or software, variable bandpass filters and dichroics to reduce user maintenance costs, and two-photon microscopy capability to enable deep tissue imaging, second harmonic generation analysis, and advanced FLIM applications—capabilities not previously available at the institution. The system will advance disease and developmental research across the life sciences by enabling tissue-specific feature detection and supporting multi-user shared-access research initiatives.Federal Grant Award Summary
