Description
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking a 12-month warranty and preventative maintenance coverage for a Thorlabs Bergamo II Multiphoton Microscope. The microscope is used for high-resolution multiphoton imaging for live tissue and in vivo brain imaging. The service contract should include certified preventive maintenance, calibration, software support, genuine parts replacement, and on-site repairs by certified Thorlabs engineers. The contract is expected to last for 12 months with three additional 12-month option years.
• The microscope is a core imaging system supporting the Division of Neuroscience, Cellular, and Structural Biology (DNCSB) at NICHD.
• The laboratory relies heavily on the instrument’s high-resolution optical performance to conduct experiments on synaptic integration, neuronal communication, and circuit-level physiology.
• Maintaining this system under a service contract is crucial to prevent interruptions that could delay ongoing NIH-funded research projects.
