TENDER DESCRIPTION
This tender seeks the acquisition, installation, parameterization, handling, and commissioning of a single optical microscope, along with initial training, designed to perform detailed infrared and visible light mapping exercises on samples, delivering stitched images and individual tiles in TIF format. The required equipment must be compatible with a 70cm x 100cm stabilized marble, operate on a 220V/50Hz power supply, feature a Z-axis travel exceeding 20mm, and facilitate imaging across ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectra, excluding immersion objectives, with capabilities for automatic focusing, Z-stacking, and large-area image stitching into non-proprietary formats like TIF. Proposers must meet stringent financial standing requirements, including absence of judicial liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings, and compliance with tax and social security obligations. The contract, estimated to be notified in Q4 2026, stipulates a maximum global execution period of twenty calendar weeks for full delivery and commissioning, with a minimum twelve-month warranty period commencing upon service admission.
