About this file

This document appears to be a set of salient characteristics for a microscope product to be used in a microbiology laboratory. The key details are:

The microscope is required to have an infinity optical system, binocular or trinocular viewing heads, NIS Infinity Corrected Plan objectives, a mechanical stage with Gorilla glass insert, an achromat swing-out condenser, a 3-watt LED eco-illumination system, a coaxial focusing system, and an Excelis CAMHDS camera system. The microscope must meet ISO 9001:2018 and ISO 14001:2018 certifications, be UL approved, and CE anti-mold certified. It comes with a 5-year limited warranty on parts, labor, and electronic components, and a 1-year warranty on the LED bulb. The microscope dimensions are 300mm x 425mm x 450mm and it weighs 30 lbs.

The related federal contract opportunity is an RFQ (Request for Quote) solicitation number 36C24624Q0697 issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 for "BRAND NAME OR EQUAL EXC 500 MICROSCOPES".
