SPECIFICATIONS
Digital Microscope FY23
1. Introduction: Scientists at the Crop Genetics Research Unit, Jamie Whitten Delta States Research Center use genetics, molecular biology, pathology, and physiology approaches to improve the yield, quality and resistance to pests and stresses of cotton and soybean. Cytological techniques can help accelerate the accomplishment of these goals. Inspection of plant cell materials under microscope is critical for the research. A powerful digital microscope (1,000x-6,000x) magnification with high image resolution) can allow us analyze chromosomes of cotton and karyotype cotton genome.

3. Scope: The Contractor shall provide one digital microscope in the description listed.
4.
5. Technical Requirements: A microscope with magnification up to 6,000x. A lens with magnification sufficient to observe chromosomes of 1-5 µM. Requirements of the system: 1) High resolution of images to save in computer for analysis; 2) a software to measure chromosome length and area; high resolution of images (1,280 x 1,024 or higher); 3) motorized (integrated operation system of microscope, camera, and computer to allow automated measurements (combing several fields into one); autofocus and automated navigation. The feature of automated measurements is required for efficient investigation of large amount of cotton samples (>1,000). 4) Transmit light. It is expected to purchase this microscope by Sep 1, 2023.
