The procurement contact named on the official notice.
Northumbria University requires upgrade and replacement of X-ray detection hardware and software for existing Tescan Mira 3GM SEM.
Updating the detectors with the last generation sensors will ensure future support and repairability in the next 10 years.
This contract covers the provision of high-resolution X-ray detectors (EDS), integrated signal processing electronics, and the associated proprietary software suite.
The procurement is a technical upgrade to the existing Tescan Mira 3GM Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
It ensures the replacement of obsolete components with current-generation technology to maintain the instrument’s analytical capabilities and structural integrity.
Proprietary Integration: The existing Tescan Mira 3GM architecture uses a specific interface and software kernel owned by Oxford Instruments.
Only Oxford Instruments can provide detectors that are natively compatible with this system without requiring unverified and high-risk modifications to the microscope's vacuum chamber and electronic bus.
