Purchase of a Visible - Short Wave Infrared Fibre Optics Reflectance Spectroscopy (VIS-SWIR FORS) System

Description

The purpose of this Procurement Exercise is for the purchase of: 1. A fibre optics reflectance spectroscopy (FORS) system covering the visible and the short-wave infrared range (VIS-SWIR: 380 - 2500 nm). The system must be able to non-invasively acquire good quality spectra of the varied materials in an archival collection (such as pigments, organic dyes, inks, binding media, paper, parchment, textiles, photographic emulsions, organic coatings and adhesives, degradation products, etc.) using low illumination levels that are safe for the conservation of the materials. 2. Software (if licences are requires, these must be included, for at least 5 users) to acquire, process and analyse the spectra. Full technical requirements are given in the Invitation to Tender.
