Description
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) is seeking to upgrade its existing Nikon STORM system with incubation and optics capabilities. The upgrade includes the addition of a CFI Apo 60X TIRF lens, a Plan Apo Lambda D 20X lens, and a Tokai HiT stage top incubation system. This will expand the system's applications and allow for live cell imaging. The notice is not a request for competitive quotes, as Nikon Instruments is the only known responsible source that can provide the required products and services.
* The upgrade includes a CFI Apo 60X TIRF lens with NA 1.49 and WD 0.12.
* A Plan Apo Lambda D 20X lens will be added for lower magnification imaging.
* The Tokai HiT stage top incubation system will be compatible with the existing piezo Z stage.
* The incubation system includes magnetic holders for 35/50/60 mm dishes, well plates, and slides.
* The system uses 100% CO2, includes a mixer for 5% CO2, controls temperature 25-45 degrees, and humidity.
