The primary application of the equipment will be to use imaging to select, discriminate and facilitate the manual recovery of protein crystals, which will then be used for X-ray diffraction crystallography. The IMC already possesses multi-use transmitted light microscopes (e.g. digital stereomicroscopes); however, these do not provide the required resolution to correctly identify the crystals, and lack the on-board analysis and object discrimination functions required. Secondary to this, the microscope will be hosted in a multi-user environment that supports several faculties and external users including Engineering, Palaeontology, and Archaeology. The microscope should therefore have functionality that appeals to a wider user-base, such as topological specimen analysis and 3D imaging capability. ## CPV classification Microscopes Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice ](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/8fe35238-7fed-4cc9-b733-7238f6431c30) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
