Description
The University of Waterloo is soliciting proposals for two identical Electron-Multiplying Charge-Coupled Device (EMCCD) Cameras to support collaborative cathodoluminescence measurements within two separate scanning electron microscopes. One camera will be integrated into a custom-built CL-SEM platform at the University of Waterloo, and the other into a high-resolution SEM at the National Research Council in Edmonton, Alberta. The procurement aims to enable advanced characterization of low-luminescence and low-dimensional semiconductors. Vendors are required to submit detailed proposals including references, warranty details, and quotations in PDF format.
