1717- Electron Cameras - AWARD

The University requests tenders from sufficiently experienced and qualified Suppliers to establish a contract for the provision of a pair of state-of-the-art, direct detection & high-performance electron cameras (DD-EC & HP-EC), to be installed on two existing transmission electron microscopes (Jeol 2100F and 2100Plus), along with scanning TEM (STEM) diffraction system control, and an associated high-tilt, cryo-transfer holder (HT-CTH), to create a new research capability for correlated morphological & molecular dynamic investigations. Effective workflow is critical for the realisation of the many challenging projects to be enabled by this complementary equipment, to be housed within the Nanoscale & Microscale Research Centre (nmRC; http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nmrc/) at the University of Nottingham (UoN). Hence, user experience and data-handling solutions for correlative investigations are of high importance. Estimated whole life cost is also an important consideration.
