General Description of Need The Southeast Regional Laboratory - Filth Group has a need for Two (2) Digital Microscopes to aid in the identification and training of filth elements The required instrument will allow FDA's Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA) and the Southeast Regional Laboratory's (SRL) Filth and Decomposition Laboratory to identify insects, hairs, animal tissue and other foreign materials through high resolution imaging. This instrumentation will also allow analysts to view items under the microscope on a large HD LCD monitor, tilt and rotate the camera stand to observe a specimen from various angles, greatly reducing or eliminating the need to manually manipulate fragile specimens. II. Salient Characteristics All of the following are minimum requirements. Equivalent requirements that differ from these minimum requirements must be justified by the proposing vendor and evaluated by the Government. • The system must be portable with a detachable camera and lens which can be altered by only slight modification into a hand held wand which can be used to scan the surface of large or otherwise difficult specimens which are normally inappropriate for microscopic examination. • The system must combine the capabilities of a stereoscope, compound microscope, scanning electron microscope and measuring microscope in a single unit. **Offerors shall address each of the salient characteristics in order to be considered.** • Minimum 23" Full HD (1920 x 1080) LCD Monitor • High brightness LED light source, minimum rate of approx. 40,000 hours • Must be powered by 100-120V AC • Must have a CMOS camera capable of 50 frames per second and a multi-scan camera with up to 2,000 TV lines and excellent color reproducibility. • Must have a dedicated LCD display screen pre-installed with Windows 7 operating system that allows full accessibility to PC functionality, including the ability to install Microsoft Office and anti-virus software. • Must have viewer software with an unlimited number of copy licenses with the following functionality: • Simple data transfer from VHX to PC • Reproducibility of 3D images • HDR parameter adjustment • 2D measurement with engineering assist tools • One click consolidation of.csv data into excel file • The system interface must be available via LAN connection, CD-R/CD-RW/DVD drive, or 8 total USB ports (two 3.0 series A ports and six 2.0 series A ports). • The system must be capable of real-time depth composition to allow for instant observation of any object entirely in focus. • The system must be integrated with CMOS camera for rapid depth composition and 3D modeling features. • The system must include a free-angle stand that will tilt a total of 150° along with 360° rotation in the XY stage to allow observation of a target from various angles without having to manipulate the part by hand. • The system must have High Dynamic Range (HDR) function for 16-bit resolution color gradation. • The system must have image stitching capabilities to simultaneously overcome depth of field and field of view limitations as well as measure in all 3 dimensions. This capability must be fully automated with 20,000 x 20,000 pixel range, including 3D imagery and pattern recognition technology which leaves no stitching or pixelated lines over the image. • The system must have one-click measure capability where the user may program and register XY measurements on consistent parts, then automatically measure new samples with a single click. Multiple measurement files must be able to be consolidated into a single report. • The system must have automatic measurement capability where software is capable of identifying particles based on color, brightness, contrast and hue with user friendly editing and cropping tools to easily count and dimension particles. • The system must have a range of available lenses to enable magnification range of 0.1-5000x allowing operation as a stereoscope, compound microscope, measuring microscope and scanning electron microscope. • The system must have bright field, polarized/cross-polarized, diffused, variable angle, and differential interference contrast lighting options. • The system must have a camera and lens that can be detached from the stand and used in a hand held operation to view large samples that cannot fit on a traditional microscope stand. • The system must have measuring capability with accuracy of 6 micron over a 4" x 4" sample size, with auto edge extraction and navigation windows to eliminate user to user variability and make measurement much easier. Warranty All labor, replacement parts and components (excluding consumables) shall be guaranteed. III.
