Description

The Advanced Materials Innovation Center (AMIC) at Clemson University is seeking bids for a high-resolution inverted microscope for metallurgical and materials characterization. The microscope should have a wide magnification range, brightfield and polarized light imaging capability, and an integrated digital imaging system. The system will be used for teaching and research purposes, and the university is looking for a modular and upgradable system architecture. The successful bidder will be required to provide installation, training, and warranty coverage. • The microscope should be suitable for opaque materials and mounted specimens • The system should have a high-quality optical system for high-resolution and contrast imaging • The system should have an ergonomic viewing system with binocular eyepieces and protective accessories • The system should have a stable stage with specimen holders for mounted samples and metallurgical specimens • The system should have advanced imaging and analysis software for grain size measurement, phase analysis, extended depth of focus, and HDR imaging
