GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Title: Keyence Microscope Software Modules

2. Background Information: The UDP Translational Laboratory conducts functional studies to investigate genetic variants identified in participants of the NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Program. The laboratory relies heavily on high‑resolution fluorescence microscopy to characterize patient‑specific cellular phenotypes that support clinical research and variant interpretation. The current BZ‑X1000 Keyence fluorescence microscope requires additional software to perform advanced analytical capabilities required for these studies. The purpose of this procurement is to acquire the Hybrid Cell Count, Macro Cell Count, and 3D Analysis Keyence software modules to extend the analytical capacity of the existing BZ‑X1000 microscope system. These modules will enable: • Accurate single‑cell detection. • Automated whole‑tissue quantification • Three‑dimensional reconstruction of cellular structure
