Hi Deb,

Can you send this out to all the CHE department?

Thank you,

Nyah


Hello to all,

I hope this e-mail finds you well, recently I have been in contact and working with the director of the imaging facility, Aaron Taylor
(abtaylor at purdue.edu) at Bindley Bioscience Center. The opportunity of gaining a new instrument was brought to my attention and would like to ask for verbal support from other labs.

The instrument is a high resolution micro computed tomography system, specifically the model we are looking at is SkyScan 1172, http://www.skyscan.be/products/1172.htm, which has the resolution of
<0.8 um, this instrument is not only attractive for biomedical but also for pharmaceutical, agricultural, material science, electronics, etc.

The instrument will be bought by Bindley Bioscience Center and costs close to $300,000. From you, there is no money needed just a letter of support that states you have use for this equipment in your lab group and would use it if the equipment becomes available on campus. This will not only enhance your research capabilities but it is a great way to bring forth collaborations between disciplines and increase communication across campus.

If you are interested in lending support toward the efforts of bringing a new piece of equipment please respond to this e-mail with a letter of support or if you would like a drafted letter of support wiht your signature I would be more than willing to write one.

Thank you for your time,
