Acquisition of a STED Microscope
The nano-science center of the University of Copenhagen are working on cutting edge research into cell properties.
The group of Prof. Dimitrios Stamou is in the need of a specially equipped 3D Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscope for ongoing research projects in live cell imaging.
The group of Prof. Dimitrios Stamou is in the need of a specially equipped 3D Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscope for ongoing research projects in live cell imaging to investigate how the curvature of live biological cells influences their functionality. The microscope provides superior resolution over current microscopes used by the group, which will greatly enhance the sensitivity of the outputs that are possible.
The contracting institution is the nano-science center of the University of Copenhagen.
Section IV: Procedure
- The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
- absence of competition for technical reasons
The adaptive illumination package exclusively provided by Abberior (resCUE, dyMIN) the Abberior STED microscope limits the light exposure to live cells by only turning the high intensity laser on when the confocal signal is above a defined threshold. This approach is essential to be able to make measurements of live cells over sustained time periods. The STED microscope must also be able to deliver 30 nm resolution on fluorescent beads, which is only possible on the Abberior microscope.
