Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope x 2

Three systems are requested, to perform high resolution imaging/analysis via an electron source for investigation of a wide range of material samples, including conductive, non-conductive and magnetic/magnetisable specimens. This will be performed for the purpose of research and teaching in a core facility, supporting users from the Faculties of Engineering, Science, Medical and Health Science, and Arts at University of Auckland, other universities, research institutes and selected commercial clients. We expect the operation these state-of-the-art instruments to open new postgraduate research opportunities and collaborations across all fields of research throughout New Zealand.
o It is expected that all three systems will be purchased through the same organisation, even if some items are supplied from third parties.
o The preference is to select a supplier with NZ based technical service and application support.
