LGH1691C - UCD - 1 high throughput infrared microscopic spectral imaging system & 1 Infrared-microscopic platform

Tenders are sought for the supply, delivery, installation and commissioning of 1 (one) high throughput infrared microscopic spectral imaging system (LOT 1) and 1 (one) infrared-microscopic platform that provides chemical information from the microscale to the nanoscale for University College Dublin. This competition is divided in to 2 Lots. Suppliers may tender for individual of multiple lots. Lot 1 - High throughput infrared microscopic spectral imaging system System should be capable of obtaining spectral images in reflectance or transmission, covering the IR fingerprint region, with an uncooled microbolometer detector array and QCL light source to enable rapid, large-area diffraction-limited IR imaging. Lot 2 - infrared-microscopic platform that provides chemical information from the microscale to the nanoscale System should employ QCL source to induce photothermal effects into a sample surface, which are measured using an atomic force microscope (AFM) for nanometre spatial resolution or a visible probe laser focused on the sample for sub-micron measurements thus bridging the spatial resolution gap between diffraction-limited, submicron and nanoscale IR imaging and overcoming the need for contact-based techniques like attenuated total reflectance (ATR) spectroscopy. The system should also provide simultaneous measurements of mechanical (e.g. stiffness) and thermal (e.g. glass transition temperatures) properties at the nano-scale.
