## Description

Cryogenic, focused ion beam \(FIB\), field emission gun \(FEG\), scanning electron microscope \(SEM\) \(CryoFIB-FEGSEM\), flexibly configured to enable the controlled sectioning and transfer, high-resolution 3D imaging and chemical mapping of a wide range of soft, delicate, organic, hydrated and temperature sensitive materials, all under near liquid nitrogen conditions \(aka "High Resolution, Cryogenic Analytical and Transfer SEM" \(HR-CAT-SEM\)\) \(LOT1\)\. In addition, we invite tenders for a complementary, high-end, confocal laser scanning light microscope \(CLSM\), with region of interest \(ROI\) identification capabilities, through the use of optical trapping and laser branding, for multi-scale sample location and analysis \(LOT2\)
