Notice Information

Notice Title

Fizeau Interferometer

Notice Description

Supply, deliver, install and commission a Fizeau laser interferometer subject to the performance specification contained within the tender specification document. If any of the technical specifications cannot be met, then this should be clearly stated in the tender return. Due to the extreme surface quality of synchrotron X-ray mirrors, we require an interferometer with the highest possible imaging quality. Therefore, when reviewing tender returns, great importance will be placed on the performance of each instrument. In particular, we require an instrument with the best possible lateral spatial resolution, topography repeatability, and instrument transfer function (ITF) to accurately record the mid-spatial frequency content of the test surface. Additional information: If you are interested in this tender opportunity please create an account via the website link below: http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Home/Procurement/ You will then be issued with a password to enable you to download the tender documents. In order to be considered, your response should arrive no later than midnight on Wednesday 1st November 2017. Details of the Evaluation Criteria for this tender are included in the OJEU notice which is attached above
