Interested firms should be prepared to meet specific insurance and quality accreditation requirements to fulfil the selection criteria stipulated by the University.

## Notice

You are invited to tender for a Phase Doppler Interferometer (PDI). A PDI is capable of measuring the statistical distribution of droplet (or particle) diameters and their velocity at a single point. In phase Doppler interferometry, a laser beam is split into two beams of roughly equal strength, and then they are crossed in space at a known crossing angle using a focusing optic (the "transmitter").
