Description

This Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by Queen's University invites prospective proponents to submit proposals for a Microscope System. The microscope is intended for the Small-Scale Robotics Lab at the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering and must support various imaging modes including live cell imaging and fixed cell or tissue section imaging. It must be inverted and capable of capturing four fluorescence imaging channels simultaneously for detailed protein marker analysis. The system should also allow for future upgrades for 3D tissue imaging to study complex samples with multiple markers.
