Description
NASA/LaRC has a requirement to upgrade an existing Gatan's digital imageacquistion system for the transmission electron microscope (TEM). NASA/LaRC intends to purchase the items from Gatan, who is the only known source capableof providing unique upgrades which must be compatible with the exiting electronmicroscope (TEM). The TEM is manufactured by Phillips electronic instruments. ThePhillips TEM is a high value item and requires periodic upgrades to the microscope tokeep the hardware in top operational condition. It would take substantial duplication oftime and Government resources for another company to offer a similar product that wouldmeet this requirement, which is not expected to be recovered through competition.
