## Description

The National Physical Laboratory requirement is to expand its current capability of cryogenic microscopy for the study of single-photon emitters\. The requirement is for a closed-cycle optical cryostat that can be mounted on an optical table, and which provides sample translation in three orthogonal degrees of freedom and the use of high numerical aperture \(NA\) objective lenses for microscopy\. Additional information: 1\.3 The Authority is using the LUPC Bravo e-Tendering portal to conduct the procurement process\. All Tenderers must register their company via the LUPC Bravo Portal\. This can be done via the following link https://lupc\.bravosolution\.co\.uk/web/login\.shtml Any issues surrounding access and functionality of the LUPC Bravo System must be directed to Bravo Helpdesk on \+44 800 069 8630 or email help@bravosolution\.co\.uk
