These instruments are used for the quantitative elemental characterisation of a wide range of Earth, planetary, environmental and materials science samples. The University of Manchester has been awarded funding by the Natural Environment Research Council to replace the >25 year old Cameca SX-100 EPMA. ### Project Overview This project aims to enhance the EPMA facilities at the University of Manchester by replacing the Cameca SX-100 with a new, state-of-the-art Field Emission Gun-equipped Electron Probe Micro-Analyser (FEG-EPMA). This new instrument will offer significantly higher spatial resolution and enhanced quantitative capabilities via the complete integration of both wavelength and energy dispersive spectrometers. In addition, this instrument will also offer enhanced low energy (e.g. ## CPV classification Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/1a94293f-6561-4d68-8a1f-7e63f829e153) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
