Note that the specific requirements in section C are subject to change prior to the release of any solicitation. B. The Contractor shall provide all necessary equipment and materials for one (1) Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) that meets the following minimum Government technical specifications and requirements.�� The SEM shall have Cerium hexaboride filaments (CeB6) electron source of ~10x brighter than Tungsten (W) source resulting in higher imaging resolution and better image quality and ~30x longer life time than W. The SEM�s lifetime of the electron source shall not be shortened when operating in low vacuum. The SEM shall fit on a tabletop not exceeding 48� long by 24� wide. The SEM shall be equipped with all hardware and software for standard operation, data acquisition and analysis. The SEM shall be capable of imaging samples up to 100mm wide, 100mm long and 65mm tall. The SEM scan area shall be up to 100 mm x 100 mm. The SEM shall have image resolution up to 2048 x 2048 pixels or more. The SEM shall be equipped with a high definition backscatter detector. The SEM shall be equipped with an Everhart-Thornley secondary electron detector. The SEM shall have capability for energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. Capability shall include both hardware and data acquisition and data analysis system. The SEM�s shall have capability of rapid sample loading/unloading in less than 45 seconds; integrated optical microscope/camera for continuous navigation under vacuum, both digital and manual navigation control. The SEM vibration shall be insensitive: no special anti-vibration table is required. The SEM shall have a motorized stage as standard. The SEM shall have a large sample stage: 10 cm by 10 cm, can include igniter components that were not before possible to image as a complete piece. The SEM shall have both high and low vacuum modes: ideal for both conducting and insulating samples (without coating), cold sputtering equipment not required. The SEM shall provide a resolution of under 10nm at 10kV or less accelerating voltage, both in backscatter and secondary electron imaging modes. The SEM shall support adjustable acceleration voltages ranging from 5 kV (or lower) and up to at least 20 kV The SEM shall require low maintenance cost and high uptime (always ready to use). C. Responses: All interested parties should notify this office in writing, mail, fax, or e-mail within the posted date.� Responses shall include: To what extent each of the specifications can be met. � Include your type of business (i.e. commercial, academia), whether your organization is classified as a large or small business based on the 1,000 number of employees standard that accompanies NAICS code 334516.
