- Description
- Base Notice:� Complete Multi-photon Microscope System Including Set-up and Training Notice Type:������������� Sources Sought Posted Date: May 9, 2020 Classification Code: 66 Scientific Equipment and Services NAICS Code: 333314 Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing � NOTICE INFORMATION Agency/Office: National Institutes of Health Location: National Institute on Drug Abuse Title: Complete Multi-photon Microscope System Including Set-up and Training Description(s): The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is the lead Federal Agency for research on mental illnesses.� The mission of the NIMH is to transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure. The Unit on Neuromodulation and Synaptic Integration (UNSI) seeks to purchase a FVMPE-RS multi-photon microscope system to perform in vivo imaging of neuronal activity with single cell resolution and receptor-based sensors in motivational circuits via the use of GRIN lenses and prisms. The purpose of this acquisition is to purchase a complete Olympus FVMPE-RS (Apollo) Dedicated Resonance Scanning Multiphoton System or �equal� complete multi-photon microscope system including set-up and training.� This microscope will allow us to investigate how neuromodulators and in-vivo experiences shape information processing in motivational circuits in-vivo and ex-vivo. This microscope will allow UNSI lab members to examine single cell activity and dendritic dynamics in head-fixed animals, while simultaneously perturbing circuits. Moreover, this microscope will be utilized to perform slice electrophysiology experiments while simultaneously monitoring dendritic dynamics using optical approaches with the two-photon microscope. Lastly, this microscope can also be utilized to acquire high-quality images from fixed tissue, which will supplement the capacities afforded by the NIMH Systems Imaging Resource. The salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics that �equal� products must meet are specified in the purchase description.
