Description
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking information from qualified sources to determine their capability to provide a Basic fluorescence microendoscope. The microendoscope will be used for ongoing work investigating neuronal circuits that contribute to opioid use disorder and natural/motivated behaviors such as feeding and fight-or-flight. The required equipment includes a fluorescence microscope driver, LISER bandpass filter, fluorescence microscope holder, and other related components.
• The system should use eFocus electrowetting lenses that permit Z-space adjustments of up to 300 microns.
• The system should have a large field of view, approximately 650 x 650 microns.
• The system should have a "twist-on" design for easy attachment and detachment from the mouse.
• The system should include software for image acquisition, such as Doric Neuroscience Studio.
The response should include the company's experience in providing similar equipment, professional and technical personnel qualifications, and any relevant information about the company's capability to meet the project requirements.
