Notice Title

UOR-LAB-24-14 - AWARD

Notice Description

We require a field emission gun, scanning electron microscope configured with a Ga focussed ion beam, lamellae lift out, cryogenic and heated sample stages, and an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic capability. The system must be capable of operation as a highly specified cryo FIB-SEM as its primary role in medical and biological research but also have the capability to work on the wide range of samples indicated above in Background Information. The system should include a magnetic field cancelling system (AC and DC) if your site survey indicated that this would be necessary to meet the specified microscope performance if sited in rooms 24 or 25.
