The product they desire is a Genesis 2000 XMS 30 for TEM (PN PV8206/31), manufactured by EDAX, Inc., Mahwah, NJ, which is designed and manufactured to interface the Philips 420 TEM, thus no retrofitting would be required. *** An acceptable product must be able to rapidly aquire elemental spectra of high quality. The detector resolution must be 136eV or better and shall not degrade more than 5eV at 10,000cps, and shall not degrade more than 5eV for each subsequant increase of 10,000cps, MnKa at 1000cps. The peak to background performance must be 15,000:1 or better and must detect soft x-rays down to and including beryllium. Also, the analyzer must be able to accept input countrates in excess of 500,000cps with a throughput of more than 100,000cps. The manufacturer will have a sufficiently large service force to guarantee 48-hour on-site service response in the event of a problem during the warrenty and service contract periods. Technical support M-F from 8:30 to 5:00pm, holidays included. First year service contract to be included in the system price.
