Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is soliciting information from vendors on advanced confocal laser scanning and super-resolution optical microscopy systems. The systems of interest should be capable of high-speed, multi-color fluorescence imaging and support specialized techniques such as fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) and superresolution nanoscopy using Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED).

Vendors are invited to provide detailed technical, functional, and operational information about their current commercial microscopy systems. The information gathered will be used to inform BNL's future procurement requirements and help specify a system suitable for supporting advanced research in biological, chemical, and materials imaging applications.
