Capability types such as dark field, phase contrast, polarization contrast, fluorescence, and DIC. 2. Electrical Configuration 120V, 60Hz, AC and work with appropriate type A, B or C plugs. 3. Ergonomic design features to help reduce fatigue, such as height adjustable focus knobs, symmetrical operation of focus knobs, height adjustable binocular tubes. 4. Long-life LED light source providing frequencies similar to daylight, and power saving functions where possible. 5. A suitable condenser system. 6. XY stage controls as standard. 7. A slide stage with space and handling for 2x (76x26 mm) microscope slides at a time. 8. 3 step focussing drive or similar. 9. Revolving 'nose piece' with space for 6 lenses ideally. 10. Lenses required are as follows: Plan FLOUR, 2x, 10x, 20x, and PLAN APO 40x, and 60X. 100x (Oil) is also required. If these requirements pose an issue for quotation, please contact us. 11. A training head attachment to allow for a second viewer. This must include all required prisms and stands. 12. A field-of-view illuminated user-controlled pointer system. 13. Mountable digital camera system that must be completely designed for and compatible with the provided microscope. All associated apparatus must be included, such as mounting tubes and splitters cables etc. 14. A computer system and monitor suitable for imaging and with a graphics card suitable for HD viewing. This mut be as far as possible future proofed so as not to become obsolete within a foreseeable 4-year time frame. This system will be running windows 10 or 11, with a compatible monitor of approximately 24''- 32'' or similar (as recommended). 15. Imaging software is to be included where appropriate and this must as far as possible future proofed so as not to become obsolete within a foreseeable 4-year time frame. The final setup must be fully functional once assembled, so please include all necessary parts and peripherals in your provision and quotation. On-site installation and training • Installation on-site is a requirement to tender. • Ideally a training package will be included, to be delivered to relevant in-country users. Suppliers should indicate the options available, whether through the use of a virtual platform or face-to-face in-country.
