UCB, Boulder, CO 80309-0347.
    Instrument: Electron Microscope, Model Tecnai F30.
    Manufacturer: FEI Company, The Netherlands.
    Intended Use: The instrument is intended to be used to study the 
structure of biological materials in three dimensions. Sometimes these 
are components of cells such as organelles or filaments; sometimes they 
are large molecules within cells. The general goal of these 
investigations is to achieve a detailed understanding of the 3-
dimensional structure of some cellular components, which in turn can be 
used to increase understanding of the function of that component.
