This proposal requests funds to obtain a scanning electron                      microscope.  Six investigators will comprise the main user group.               The projects proposed include the following.  Characterization of               the manner by which bacterial cells attach to biological                        surfaces, sulfide ores, manganese oxide and clays.  EDAX will be                utilized to study the distribution of manganese in hydrothermal                 vent bacteria.  Another project will use the instrument to study                the geometrical relationship between eye lens shape and the                     muscles responsible for shape changes.  A final project will                    investigate the mechanism by which the symbiotic bacterium                      Anabaena azollae is inoculated into its host water fern, Azolla.
