About this file

This document is a Requirements List for a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) that details specific technical and operational specifications. The requirements include a minimum magnification of 50X with a resolution of 10 nm or less at 0.5kV, Windows PC-based interface with an easy-to-use GUI, and computer-assisted optics system operation. Additional key specifications are a battery backup power supply lasting eight hours, a goniometer sample stage with Z-position tilt, stage camera with visible spectra live-imaging, and an Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) system larger than 60mm² that is manufacturer-serviced.

The document also outlines service and support requirements, including multiple market-located service technicians, on-site manufacturer training for hardware and software, and a minimum one-year warranty covering all parts and labor. The vendor must be capable of responding to warranty calls and repairing the instrument within 20 business days. Unique technical capabilities requested include live mapping while imaging, 3D mapping/reconstruction, EDS overlay with individual elements, and the ability to operate without network connectivity for maintenance or repair.
