This proposal requests funds for the purchase of a Zeiss inverted               microscope and accessories.  The microscope will be used to:                    l.  Evaluate the cytostructural and secretory properties of                     cultured rat pituitary cells in order to determine whether                      subpopulations of gonadotropin secreting cells are differentially               recruited to release hormone during periods of continuous                       hormonal stimulation,                                                           2. Quantitate changes in endothelial cell morphology and                        migration behavior in response to activated human peripheral                    blood mononuclear cell factor,                                                  3. Identify and study ion channel distributions on cultured                     myocardial and vascular smooth muscle cells,                                    4. Study the transfer of fluorescent dyes between coupled                       myocardial cells and to obtain cellular morphometric data, and                  5. Evaluate the functional properties of acetylcholine                          containing ventral horn neurons.                                                The microscope and accessories will benefit the faculty of the                  Department of Physiology and will allow the department to expand                and broaden its basic research potential in electrophysiology.
