This proposal requests funds to set up a freeze-fracture system                 for vitrified biological samples.  The system consists of a                     controlled environment vitrification system (CEVS) which will                   allow a rapid freezing of samples equilibrated at a controlled                  environment of temperature and humidity, and a system of                        freeze-fracture-etch device.  The CEVS will be constructed at                   the University.  The freeze-fracture-etch device will be                        purchased from Balzers, Inc.  The system will be used to study                  the phase diagram of phosphatidylethanolamine liposomes                         (Huang), architecture of the microemulsions (Magid), symbionic                  vesicle structures (Jeon), metal implants in bone tissue (Joy),                 and the mechanism of flagellum motility (Joy).  The system will                 be maintained and operated as part of the University of                         Tennessee Electron Microscopy Facility.  Full-time personnel                    are available at the Facility to assist the investigators.
