Given the competitive award process, organisations similar to or larger than Bruker UK Ltd, the awarded supplier, could effectively leverage their experiences and capabilities to secure future contracts in this sector.

## Notice

3D X-Ray MicroCT Imaging System. Utilising innovative X-ray technology, MicroCT systems non-destructively capture 2D images, slice-by-slice, through solid samples whilst they are progressively rotated on their axis. Slices are then processed into detailed 3D models allowing not only see through a tissue, or organ, but also to see inside and make out object details as small as 0.4-0.5 mm within an entire undissected organism and make out sub-micron structural, spatial and volumetric detail. In addition we required a 4-year maintenance contract. .
