Hitachi Tabletop Microscope, Quantity of 1 each, Part Number TM-3000; Deben Manual Tilt/Rotate Stage, Quantity of 1 each, Part Number: TR-TMD-10101; XY Stage Control System; Quantity of 1 each, Part Number: SP-TMD-30001; spare cartridge Wehnelt cap, Part number: 50E-0524, Quantity of 1 each; Box 10 filaments, Part number: 51E-0240, Quantity of 1 each; Spare Aperture Cylinder (Anode), Part number: 52E-6291, Quantity of 1 each; Fixed Apertures (set of 20), Part number: 535-1289, Quantity of 1 each; and Objective Aperture, Part number: 55E-1202, Quantity of 1 each. The minimum requirements in the above model tabletop microscope shall allow for convenient and efficient visualization of microscopic insects (primarily parasitic wasps) of importance to agriculture. Images acquired with this system will be used to describe and diagnose parasitic wasps in systematic and taxonomic publications. The above Microscope shall provide a small, laboratory-friendly footprint which allows for maximum performance while occupying minimal space. It will also dramatically increase the number of images that can be acquired while concomitantly decreasing the time required to do so because this is a dedicated, user-friendly unit that one can operate after minimal training. The Microscope shall be run directly from an external computer linked by a USB 2.0 cable. Minimum Requirements for the above tabletop Microscope are as follows: Equipment must have a maximum tabletop footprint of less than 30"x20". Equipment shall come with on-site installation and training. Equipment shall have software that can be accessed by an external computer running Windows 7. The software must allow us to fully visualize the image acquisition process via a clear, simple user interface. All quotes shall be emailed to: John.Wilkinson@ars.usda.gov ; no later than August 26, 2010. All responses will be evaluated in order to determine the ability to meet the above stated capabilities. The Government intends to award an order resulting from this combined synopsis/solicitation to the responsive/responsible offeror whose offer represents the best value to the Government. The anticipated award date is August 27, 2010.
