Notice Information
Notice Title
DRI Confocal Microscope
Notice Description
The objective of this project is to build a confocal microscope with integrated electrophysiology. The set up will be prepared for performing high quality live brain slice imaging in combination with electrophysiological recordings. In addition, the microscope will be used for imaging fluorescently labelled fixed tissue at high resolution. Some of the structures (very fine astrocyte processes) or live events (e.g. Ca2+ signals) are equal or smaller than 150 um in size. The ability to detect several fluorophores at the same time, at several frames per second for live imaging and with high level of resolution is essential for this system to meet the requirements.
Lot Information
Lot 1
Direct Award through APUC framework Lab1015 AP - Microscopes and Imaging Equipment (Lot2). This framework has a ranking system allowing for institutions to approach suppliers directly in order of rank. Nikon are ranked #1 but could not meet mandatory requirements. Zeiss are ranked #2 and could meet mandatory requirements. Therefore Direct Award to Zeiss.
