Description
The University requires an in-vivo imaging system that is capable of producing 3D x-ray micro-CT and luminescence image data sets from whole living subjects and tissue samples.
The x-ray µCT must be of high resolution for quantitative imaging of the skeletal system, with spatial resolution to below 20 µm and voxel size of below 10 µm.
The solution can be a single combined system or two complimentary systems. The system is for a multiuser facility serving a wide range of disciplines so it must be flexible, upgradeable easy to maintain and intuitive to learn.
Full details of the University's requirement can be found in the Invitation to Tender document set (Specification (File 4)).
