High-speed Super-resolution Light Microscope with Structured Illumination (SIM) and Single Molecule Localization (SMLM)

We asked tenders for advanced super-resolution light microscopy system capable of sub-diffraction limited high-dynamic imaging of live samples in 3D. System must have both Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) and Total Internal Reflection (TIRF)/ Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM) modalities. Instrumentation will be acquired to the Biomedicum Imaging Unit, imaging core facility within the University of Helsinki. Maximum price of system was 755 000 € (VAT 0 %), including shipping, installation, user training, and insurance until final acceptance of instrument. System must be delivered and installed within 14 weeks from purchase order date. In addition, we asked annual preventative maintenance contract for total 5 years after warranty period as an option.
