- Description
- Vendors are encouraged to provide comprehensive information on different Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) systems that meet the minimum requirements, listed below. The Ames Laboratory, a US DOE Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) is looking to purchase a SEM with a Schottky-field-emission gun. Minimum requirements for spatial resolution are 3.5nm@1kV and 1.5nm@15kV. The system must simultaneously accept energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and electron-backscatter diffraction (EBSD) systems. It may also be fitted with a wavelength-dispersive spectrometer, plasma cleaner and environmental stage. Multiple additional ports are desired. The SEM shall be equipped with an Everhart-Thornley secondary electron (SE) detector, a solid-state backscattered electron (BSE) detector, and in-lens SE and BSE detectors. The SEM must have a camera for monitoring the inside of the chamber. Value will be placed on cameras or other systems for imaging the samples at low magnification for navigational purposes. Vendors may also provide information on an integrated EDS and EBSD system to be purchased together with the SEM. (See separate RFI for EDS/EBSD system.) Submissions shall be e-mailed to Andrea Spiker ( spiker@ameslab.gov ) by the requested date for further consideration. Ames Lab is forecasting this as a FY 2015 purchase.
