Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University awarded a contract to Leica Microsystems Inc. on July 2, 2026, with a cumulative value of $21,715.41. The contract covers the procurement of advanced microscopy equipment and components, including a Visoria B Ruo microscope system, Leica K3M camera, four-channel LED light source, and associated optical and mechanical components. Delivery is directed to Noah Redder at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Virginia.

The contract line items consist of 20 distinct optical and mechanical components for microscopy applications, each procured as a single unit. These items include objectives (N Plan 10X/0.25 and 20X/.4), eyepieces (HC Plan S 10X/22), optical filters (GFP ET and TXR ET systems), stage equipment (ergostage with ceramic plate and XY-stage control), illumination components (lamp housing and LED light source), and supporting hardware such as condensers, focus drives, slide holders, and dust covers. All line items are priced individually, with unit costs ranging from $36.57 to $4,448.96, and represent equipment to support microscopy and fluorescence imaging capabilities at the institution.
