      4. Short description:
         

         The department of Physics requires a visible-IR scanning probe microscopy system (vis-IR-SPM) more fully described in Section 3 of this tender.

         Broadly, we require:

         — An open reconfigurable scanning probe system, so scanning stage can be moved to any other microscope.

         — Capable of combining with existing Renishaw Raman spectroscopy (Invia) system (fitted by us with suitable podule).

         — With switchable heads for both laser and tuning fork AFM detection, and STM detection modes.

         — With probe tips that can be transparent in any configuration, including mid-IR.

         — With magnetic field up to 1T that can be locally applied both in-plane and out-of-plane.

         — With access simultaneously with mid-IR lasers (via off-axis paraboloid mirror) and visible lasers (via x50 objective, which can be water immersion), with no occlusion of beams.

         
         
      5. Information about lots:
         This contract is divided into lots: no
      6. Total value of the procurement:
