About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This Statement of Work (SOW) details a service contract for maintenance of scientific equipment at the EPMA/SEM Lab in Menlo Park. The document describes two key pieces of Oxford Instruments equipment on a Tescan Vega Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM): two X-Max-50 Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS) detectors and one Synergy Electron Back Scatter Diffractometer (EBSD). These detectors are critical for collecting geochemical data and analyzing specimen crystallographic structures, with the SOW emphasizing that equipment downtime would significantly impair research capabilities. The lab has maintained a long-standing service contract with Oxford Instruments, Inc., and the current contract is intended to ensure continued maintenance of these specialized scientific instruments.

Statement of work

The Oxford Instruments, Inc. Service Contract

One of the important features of the Tescan Vega SEM at Menlo Park is the addition of two (2) Oxford X-Max-50 large area Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS) detectors and one (1) Oxford Synergy Electron Back Scatter Diffractometer (EBSD). The EDS detectors allow us to collect semi-quantitative geochemical data, whereas the EBSD is used to analyze the structural/crystallographic information of specimens. These detectors and software applications allow for rapid identification of phases, determining modal abundance of phases, and application of energy filters on spectra. All detectors are fundamental tools used with the SEM, and maintaining the detectors is critical to SEM work being done efficiently on campus. Down time with the detectors would result in most of our users being unable to obtain necessary data. The EPMA/SEM Lab at Menlo

Park has maintained and benefitted from a service contract with Oxford Instruments, Inc.

for many years.
