This notice is strictly for research and information purposes only.
Background: The National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH), Section on Critical Brain Dynamics and The Unit on Neural Computation and Behavior are studying complex neural system and behavior using 2-photon microscopy imaging.
Purpose and Objectives: The purpose of this acquisition is to procure one(1) STACIS iX Optical Laser Table Bases to eliminate the vibration and distortion of inverted laser microscopes used to collect recorded data. The table will provide stability through vibration cancellation technology to isolate any movement. This will prevent any disruption during data recordings.
Project requirements:
The Contractor shall provide one(1) STACIS iX Vibration Isolation Laser Table to the following specifications:
• It is the only stackable design. Systems, tools or frames with passive isolators built into them can be stacked on top of STACIS iX
• STACIS iX incorporates a unique active hard-mount architecture
• Hybrid System (passive+active)
• Provide unequaled performance at both high and low frequencies, in 6 axes
• Patented STACIS iX piezoelectric, active vibration cancellation technology
• Digital controller with Menu-Driven interface and LCD display
• Critcally damped MaxDamp pneumatic isolators for fast settling and excellent stability
• Isolation starting at 0.6Hz
• -6dB @ 1Hz; -20dB @ 2Hz; -25 or more @ 3Hz and above
• Requires 80 psi compressed air or nitrogen, and standard 110 VAC power
• 28" height frame, for use with 5'x10x12' optical top, 40" operating height
• Include one 784-675-02R, OPT.TOP/59X120X12" W/RAD
• Performance series clean top, individually seated holes
Anticipated Period of Performance: Deliver 30-60 days after award
