SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 DESCRIPTION / SPECIFICATIONS / STATEMENT OF WORK

The Library of Congress, Conservation Division (CD) requires a Digital Microscope analytical instrument. This scientific instrument will be used as an analytical and diagnostic tool to determine the microscopic nature of artifacts across the vast Library of Congress (LC) collections, specifically in the analysis of three-dimensional artifacts. This information will be used for a number of preservation activities including surface characterization in support of examinations and treatments, conservation treatment of collection items, and documentation of surface characteristics. The stereomicroscope needs to be accurate at high levels of magnification, and portable in that it can be transported to analyze objects in situ. The digital microscope needs to be:

Accurate at high levels of magnification, and portable in that it can be transported to analyze objects in situ.

Enable the examination of larger collection items (e.g. ceramic collection, most of its architectural models, many of the musical instruments, and other important items), many of which cannot be examined on a standard XY microscope stand.

Enable multiangle examination without the need to move or tilt the microscope column.

CD has identified the Hirox Ultra High Resolution Digital Microscope Unit with a rotary multi-angle lens as the only equipment that addresses all stated requirements. The Hirox instrument enables examination of collection items with sizes greater than 18” in three dimensions, and with a rotary multi-angle lens to allow access to vertical surfaces on 3D materials, significantly reducing handling and risk of damage to the artifact. The Hirox is accurate at high levels of magnification, provides the widest range of working magnifications from 0x-10,000x to meet any examination requirement, is portable so it can be transported to analyze objects in situ that do not fit on a standard x-y stand, and has the ability to produce three dimensional scans of objects under examination and treatment.

C.2. SCOPE

The contractor shall deliver and install an ultra high resolution digital microscope, control software, and associated equipment and accessories. The contractor shall also provide basic onsite training of the equipment.

C.3. CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS
