Enhanced Darkfield Optical Microscope System

The Texas A&M AgriLife Research is seeking bids for an Enhanced Darkfield Optical Microscope System to support nanoscale hyperspectral imaging and characterization of various quality water sources from agricultural and environmental systems. The microscope system must be mechanically and optically compatible with the existing Hyperspectral Imaging Camera and include features such as structured, transmission-based darkfield illumination, high numerical aperture cardioid oil darkfield illumination system, and precisely controllable, motorized stage motion. The system must also include compatible computer hardware and device drivers that enable synchronized operation between the microscope system and hyperspectral camera. • The microscope system must be delivered and installed within 90 days of the purchase order issuance. • The vendor must provide a warranty for the item(s) being offered. • The vendor must provide training for the microscope system. • The vendor must provide a description of the training, including the number of attendees, length of training, location, and costs included. • The vendor must provide a guaranteed response time for technical support.
