Description

The NOAA, Office of Southeast Fisheries & Science Center intends to negotiate on a non-competitive basis with New Wave Research for Micro mill (0002-2900A), is an instrument comprised of a high-resolution microscope with motion control, a high speed precision drill, and computer system, and applicable software. The Micromill product by New Wave Research is made specifically for drilling crystalline structures such as bone or in our case otolith (earstones) of fish. The features of this instrument, particularly the stereo microscope xyz motion control, provides us with microscopic precision drilling and real-time ability to collect serial samples. The computer and necessary software of the product furnishes us with a visual image of our sample with precise measurements, a property that reduces systemic errors. Relative to our research, the microscope and drill combination of the Micromill will allow us to precisely extract the juvenile portion of the adult otolith for analysis as will as take "transects" of multiple samples from a single otolith.
