Salient Characteristics
Commercial Availability Certification:
I have evaluated the commercial marketplace and determined that all of the salient characteristics documented below are available in products/services offered in the commercial marketplace.
Signature (typed name): To be announced at time of Award
Technical Point of Contact (TPOC)
In an effort to conduct research in the Bio-Materials Synthesis and Assembly Branch, the Biological & Biotechnology Sciences Division within Army Research Laboratory (ARL) requires quantity one (1) energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) system to be integrated with an existing Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). The Contractor shall provide the EDS to meet the following specifications.
1. System Compatibility & Installation
· The EDS system shall be fully operational and compatible with the existing FESEM: FEI Quanta200 FEG (field emission gun).
· The FESEM is currently operated using XTmicroscope Server and Microsoft Windows XP. The EDS system must maintain compatibility with this existing software and operating system environment.
· The EDS system software shall be installed on a dedicated, standalone computer and shall be capable of reliable communication with the XTmicroscope Server and the Microsoft Windows XP installation on the FESEM control computer.
2. Detector Specifications
· Detector Type: The detector shall be a Silicon Drift Detector (SDD).
· Sensor Area: The detector sensor area shall be 100 millimeters squared (mm²) or greater.
· Resolution: The detector shall be capable of high-resolution, low-energy X-ray detection, specifically for light element analysis. Carbon resolution shall be less than or equal to 46 electron Volts (eV) with a count rate of 50,000 counts per second (cps).
3. Functional Requirements
· Live EDS Imaging: The system shall support live EDS imaging capabilities.
· Simultaneous Acquisition: The system shall be capable of simultaneously acquiring live electron images, X-ray maps, and spectra from the same region of interest on the specimen.
· Image Overlay: The system shall allow for the overlay of live X-ray maps onto the live electron image.
· Quantitative Analysis Speed: The system shall be capable of high-resolution quantitative analysis at mapping speeds ≥ 400,000 output characters cps.
The Contractor shall deliver the one (1) energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) system freight on board (FOB) Destination to The Army Research Laboratory Center, Adelphi Maryland 20783.
