Electron Probe Microanalyzer

Description

An Electron Probe Microanalyser is a device used to analyse materials at micron scale. It works by firing a beam of electrons at the substance, these electrons cause x-rays to be emitted from the substance, and that characteristic emission can be measured by detectors or generates analytical imaging substance composition. The school of Geosciences is seeking to purchase a new one of these systems. This will be a direct replacement for an existing instrument which has been in-situ since August 2002. Lot 1: An Electron Probe Microanalyser is a device used to analyse materials at micron scale. It works by firing a beam of electrons at the substance, these electrons cause x-rays to be emitted from the substance, and that characteristic emission can be measured by detectors or generates analytical imaging substance composition. The school of Geosciences was seeking to purchase a new one of these systems. This will be a direct replacement for an existing instrument which has been in-situ since August 2002.. It was identified that this scope fell under the High Value Lab Equipment Framework (HVLE), Lot 3 LAB3162NW. The opportunity was offered to suppliers on that framework in November 2024 and only Jeol responded to confirm they could meet the requirement.
