Active Vibration Isolation System compatible with a Thermo Fisher Scientific Verios 5 Ultra High Resolution Scanning Electron Microscope (UHR-SEM)
Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) appears to be seeking an active vibration isolation (AVI) system for a Thermo Fisher Scientific Verios 5 ultra-high-resolution scanning electron microscope used in Ottawa-area materials research. The system is intended to reduce low-frequency mechanical vibrations that affect image quality and allow the microscope to operate closer to its highest performance. This opportunity may be relevant to businesses that supply, integrate, install, or support specialized vibration-isolation systems compatible with high-resolution scientific instruments. The requirement appears technically specific, so businesses should review the technical bid document carefully for equipment compatibility, performance requirements, installation or delivery obligations, and any required experience or certifications.Buyer: National Research Council of Canada (NRC)Location: Ottawa, Ontario / National Capital Region Status: Open Closing date: October 15, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The applicable time zone should be confirmed in the official notice.

Imported source text may contain formatting from the original notice.
The High Temperature Materials Group in the Structures and Materials Performance Laboratory of the National Research Council’s (NRC) Aerospace (AERO-SMPL-HTM) requires an active vibration isolation (AVI) system to achieve the required performance of the group’s ultra-high resolution scanning electron microscope (UHR-SEM). AERO-SMPL-HTM uses its UHR-SEM in advanced research on a wide range of materials for various applications. However, the instrument cannot provide the highest possible image resolution due to significant low-frequency disturbances during high-magnification imaging. A new AVI system will effectively dampen mechanical vibrations and eliminate disruptive low-frequency vibration noise that interferes with image acquisition. The new system will allow the UHR-SEM to achieve its optimum performance, and enhance AERO-SMPL’s capability to conduct advanced research and provide data for a large number of the research projects.
