The associated NAICS code is 334516 and the small business size standard is 500 employees. The NTSB has a requirement for one each Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with the following basic characteristics: (1) capability of operating in both a high vacuum mode and variable pressure mode, (2) accelerating voltages variable at least within the range of 0.5 KV to 30 KV, (3) a minimum magnification no greater than 25X, (4) a digital image output for acquisition and storage in JPG format at a minimum of 1500 by 1500 pixel resolution, and (5) two monitors for simultaneous viewing of different image sources. Chamber size/stage: Minimum scanning area of 4 inches by 5 inches (X-Y) with an interior volume of at least 10 inches by 11 inches by 5 inches (high), a five-axis motorized stage, and a Z axis control that can be manipulated through a range of at least 2 inches, plus store and recall software for stage positions. Microscope control: Through a PC, joystick (X, Y, and Z), and an additional analog device (focus and zoom). Vacuum System: Mechanical and turbo-mechanical pumping system. The SEM must be designed to be simultaneously interfaced with (1) backscatter and secondary electron detectors that can be used in both high vacuum operation and variable pressure operation, (2) an infrared camera, (3) a port capable of accepting the Thermo WDS Ibex wavelength dispersive spectroscopy system, and (4) a port capable of accepting the Thermo Noran EDS X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy system. Also contains a color printer for preliminary viewing of images, and a CD-RW.
