The contract is valid from the moment it is signed by both parties and remains in effect until all contractual obligations have been fulfilled. The start and end dates in the agreement's header are administrative and do not legally supersede the agreement periods specified in its clauses. The supplier is required to guarantee the supply of spare parts, accessories, and support for a minimum of ten years following the expiration of the Agreement.

• Compatibility with air, water, silicone (or equivalent refractive index), and oil objectives.
• System must enable selecting single bandpass emission filters for each channel in SD mode.
• Software must enable each channel to be toggled between its pre-set display color and black-and-white in no more than two clicks.
• Software must enable the look-up table showing saturated and underexposed pixels to be toggled between on and off in no more than two clicks.
• All equipment must be compliant with the Swedish electrical system.
• Electrical connections must be for single phase 220-240 V, or triple phase 400V, 50 Hz.
• Documentation for the System, operations, software, and maintenance must be supplied in electronic form.
