(End of Provision) BACKGROUND The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Materials Measurement Science Division (MMSD) provides the measurement science, measurement standards, and measurement technology required to enable world-leading characterization of materials in support of the nation's needs for the determination of the composition, structure, and properties of materials. In partnership with U.S. industry, government agencies and other stakeholders, the Division develops state-of-the-art instrumentation, methods, models and software to accurately and precisely measure materials over a range of length and time scales. The Division provides benchmarking and validation of emerging materials analysis methods, and disseminates reference materials, standards and scientific data to foster innovation and advance a wide range of technologies, such as those for public safety, forensics, homeland security and nanomanufacturing. The Analytical Microscopy Group (AMG) within the MMSD conducts research on the chemical and structural properties of matter by applying various ion and photon based microscopies whose resolution range from micrometers to nanometers providing spatially resolved elemental, isotopic and molecular information. The AMG also applies analytical microscopy methods to problems in materials science, semiconductor technology, bioscience, environmental science, and homeland security. In order to meet its mission requirements, the NIST AMG requires a research-grade analytical instrument capable of advanced analytical methods and measurement capabilities for explosives and narcotics in supporting our forensic and homeland security programs.
