Description

The Brookhaven National Laboratory, herein known as BNL, operated by Brookhaven Science Associates, under Contract DE-AC02-76CH00016, with the U.S. Department of Energy, is seeking sources for a 300kV, Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) analytical transmission electron microscope with various state-of-the-art, nanoscale in-situ experimental capabilities. BSA/BNL has a requirement for a 300 kV transmission electron microscope (TEM) designed to provide an optimum combination of in-situ capabilities for high-resolution imaging, diffraction, and spectroscopy (energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), and/or spectroscopy imaging) in an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) environment. Special requirements include observing chemical reaction of nanometric particles in the TEM with a wide range of temperature and gas pressure for catalysis study. The design for the TEM requires cutting-edge technology in differential pumping to achieve the required ultrahigh vacuum, while enabling to inject a high gas pressure for observing chemical reactions in-situ. The transmission electron microscope required will be a side-entry high resolution instrument with nano-probe analytical capabilities. It requires the highest quality of the combined accomplishment on atomic-imaging point-to-point resolution (0.18nm), energy-spread (<0.7eV), and specimen tilt-angle (?45?) available with today?s technology. Known manufacturers capable of producing a 300kV, Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) analytical transmission electron microscope are: Hitachi High Technologies America, Inc JEOL, USA, Inc. All other manufacturers interested in receiving a copy of the 300kV, Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) analytical transmission electron microscope Request for Proposal, when it is issued, should contact David J. Paveglio.
