Carl Zeiss Lattice SIM 5 laser scanning structured illumination super-resolution light microscope and Associated Supplies

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI) Center for Cancer Research (CCR) is seeking to purchase a Carl Zeiss Lattice SIM 5 laser scanning structured illumination super-resolution light microscope and associated supplies. The microscope will be used by the CCR Microscopy Core to support cancer research projects. The required microscope should include a high-speed lattice SIM5 scanner, dual high-sensitivity sCMOS cameras, four high-power lasers, a 500 um Piezo stage, stage-top incubation for live cell imaging, and high numerical aperture oil and water immersion objective lenses. • The microscope will be used for super-resolution fluorescence microscopy to understand molecular interactions of cellular proteins and gene expression profiles of tumor cells. • The CCR Microscopy Core serves the imaging needs of over 45 labs/branches within NCI. • The microscope should be new and commercially available. • The purchase is subject to various federal regulations and clauses, including those related to small business set-asides, subcontracting, and payment terms.
