Ultrafast Microscope Camera

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is seeking a commercial product or service to provide an ultrafast microscope camera. The camera must meet specific technical requirements, including high-speed, high-resolution capture, signal precision and sensitivity, low non-linearity, and vibration mitigation. The solicitation is a brand name requirement due to essential software interoperability. The successful offeror will be required to provide a firm-fixed-price quotation for the camera system and manuals. • The camera must be capable of 2,166 fps at a full 3.6 MP resolution, with flexible speed adjustment up to 56,338 fps via Region of Interest (ROI) reduction. • The camera must offer a high fullwell capacity (60,000 e⁻ in low-gain mode) and high dynamic range (up to 60 dB) to capture varying multispectral scattering intensities. • The camera must have a guaranteed non-linearity of <0.4%, an essential scientific specification that most other high-speed camera manufacturers do not achieve or provide. • The camera must be equipped with optional liquid cooling to ensure vibration-free operation, which is an absolute requirement for stable nanoscale microscopy measurements.
