Notice Title

Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

Notice Description

This Further Competition is for the procurement of a high-resolution Schottky field emission gun scanning electron microscope ("SEM") for the University of Southampton's Mechanical Engineering department. The facility will form an important analytical capability for an exciting array of research themes pursued within the department ranging from battery chemistry and catalysis to metallurgy, surface engineering, biomedical materials and industrial engineering consultancy. As such Bidders must support a robust yet flexible solution that can accommodate the breadth of analysis required balanced against future research directions such as in-situ materials characterisation.
