Confocal-multifhoton microscope NIN
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThis tender concerns the procurement of a combined confocal and multiphoton microscope system for the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN). The system is intended to be integrated into an electrophysiology setup, enabling both acute and long-term structural and functional imaging of brain tissue. A key requirement is the capability for detailed structural imaging while minimizing phototoxicity. To achieve this, the microscope system must be equipped with solid-state multipixel photon counter detectors. These detectors are specified to offer superior photon detection efficiency and signal-to-noise ratios compared to traditional GaAsP PMT detectors. The procurement is for a single setup. This advanced imaging technology is crucial for neuroscience research, allowing for high-resolution visualization of neural structures and their activity over time with reduced light-induced damage. The integration with electrophysiology will provide a powerful tool for correlating electrical activity with structural and functional changes in neural circuits. The NIN seeks a state-of-the-art solution that meets these demanding specifications to advance its research objectives in understanding brain function and disease.
This is a supplies contract in the Research, information and communication technology and general supplies sectors, with a focus on R&D equipment, Hardware and Data Analytics. Located in Netherlands, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.

Description
Auto-translated from DutchCombination confocal and multifhoton microscope, which can be integrated into an electrophysiology setup and enables both acute and long-term structural and functional imaging in brain tissue. To enable detailed structural imaging while minimizing phototoxicity, the system must be coupled to solid-state multipixel photon counter detectors (with better photon detection efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio than GaAsP PMTs). 1 setup
