Provision of a Light Sheet Microscope and associated services

Tender description

We are seeking to procure a Light Sheet Microscope to perform high-resolution, long-term time lapse imaging of a broad range of living systems including live cells, mammalian organoids, plant and small vertebrate and invertebrate organisms. The overall aim of the research is to capture the fast and dynamic changes in a living system over an extended period of time with minimal stress from light and mechanical handling. We are intending to award a contract to a single supplier for 5-years to include servicing and maintenance services. It is anticipated that the solution should be fully operational by 31st July 2023.
