Description

National Museums Scotland is seeking to purchase a new X-Ray unit to investigate a wide variety of objects from across the museum collections (archaeological items, art and design artefact, natural sciences specimens, science and technology items).
The instrument chosen will be a ‘turn-key’ system, either a cabinet unit or a flat-pack unit built in the lab with appropriate shielding. All hardware, firmware and software costs must be included in your tender return. In addition to the one-year statutory warranty, options to purchase additional years of preventive maintenance should be included in the total cost.
The instrument will be set-up in one of the existing science laboratories at NMCC and will need to meet the UK Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 – Regulation 32(2) and its associated regulatory guidance. The instrument will be used in proximity of 13 amp, 240 volt AC, 50 Hz supply, in a non-air conditioned laboratory. Full details are outlined in the attached tender documents.

DLSITT1057 - I17 CSXID Beamline Plane Grating Monochromator for Diamond Light Source

Located on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, Diamond Light Source (DLS) is a leading-edge facility for science, engineering and innovation. Diamond allows researchers from academia and industry to investigate the structure and behaviour of the world around us at the atomic and molecular level. To continue delivering the world changing science that Diamond enables, the facility is being upgraded to Diamond-II, a coordinated programme of development that combines a major machine upgrade with new instruments and complementary improvements to optics,detectors, sample environment and delivery capabilities, and computing, as well as integrated and correlative methods. This will be transformative in speed and spatial resolution and will offer users streamlined access to enhanced instruments for life and physical sciences. The scope of the contract is for the design, supply of material, manufacture, assembly, test and delivery of one soft X-ray Plane Grating Monochromator (PGM). The PGM will be used on the DLS I17 Beamline over a photon energy range of 250 - 3500 eV and will be able to provide a resolving power (E/ΔE) better than 8,000 at all energies. The mirror optic and gratings are excluded from the scope of the contract. The PGM shall include: • Cooling arrangements as described in the specification • Vacuum system • Support system • Interface to beamline services
