Members of the Gettysburg College faculty recognize that technology has jumped by leaps and bounds over the last twenty years. To enable their colleagues and students to utilize top-notch technology for research and teaching on campus, they worked to acquire a new microscope.
Last year, Kittelberger teamed up with colleagues in the biology, chemistry, and psychology departments to obtain funding for such a microscope. Their commitment paid off when the College received a $159,756 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, to purchase a computerized epifluorescence microscope with advanced digital imaging and analysis tools.
