Leica Microsystems Stellaris Microscope System with Confocal
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is conducting a market survey to identify qualified small businesses capable of providing a new Leica Microsystems Stellaris Microscope System with advanced confocal, 3D STED, FLIM, and spectral multiplexing imaging capabilities. The system is needed to replace an aging Leica SP8 confocal microscope, which will be traded in as a line-item discount. Required features include a white light laser, prism-based detection, five hybrid detectors, 3D STED super-resolution, integrated FLIM, and support for imaging up to 15 fluorescent colors. Performance of services will be at an NIH lab, and interested firms must submit a capability statement demonstrating their experience and ability to meet all specifications. No budget amount is specified in the description.
