Title of the lot: High Throughput Infrared Microscopic Spectral Imaging System
Lot number: 1
Short description:
Lot 1 โ€“ high throughput infrared microscopic spectral imaging system
System should be capable of obtaining spectral images in reflectance or transmission, covering the IR fingerprint region, with an uncooled microbolometer detector array and QCL light source to enable rapid, large-area diffraction-limited IR imaging.
Duration: 12 months
Description of renewals:
The contracting authority reserves the right to extend the term of warranty and/or service contracts for a period or periods of up to [1 year] with a maximum of (3) such extension or extensions on the same terms and conditions, subject to the contracting authorityโ€™s obligations at law.

Title of the lot: Infrared-Microscopic Platform
Lot number: 2
Short description:
Lot 2 โ€“ infrared-microscopic platform that provides chemical information from the microscale to the nanoscale
System should employ QCL source to induce photothermal effects into a sample surface, which are measured using an atomic force microscope (AFM) for nanometre spatial resolution or a visible probe laser focused on the sample for sub-micron measurements thus bridging the spatial resolution gap between diffraction-limited, submicron and nanoscale IR imaging and overcoming the need for contact-based techniques like attenuated total reflectance (ATR) spectroscopy. The system should also provide simultaneous measurements of mechanical (e.g. stiffness) and thermal (e.g. glass transition temperatures) properties at the nano-scale.
