LA1950C - TUS Midlands Midwest - Supply, Delivery & Installation of a Scanning Electron Microscope with integrated Microtome along with Energy Dispersive X-ray analyser (EDX)
The Material Research Institute (MRI) at TUS – Athlone, require the supply and installation of a Scanning Electron Microscope with integrated Microtome along with Energy Dispersive X-ray analyser (EDX) to allow us to update our current SEM/EDX capability to perform Serial Block Face SEM/EDX analysis (SBFSEM) and make accurate visual and chemical identification of materials and alloys thereof in a wide range of polymeric samples plus other bio-organic, organic and inorganic systems.
The system must consist of a Scanning Electron Microscope with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Detection with the modular capability of performing Volume SBFSEM imaging and analysis (typically using an ultra-microtome to remove thin slices from the sample before each imaging and analysis step is performed).
