## Description

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\.
