Description

Bidders are asked to submit a formal tender for the 3D Digital Microscope for the Examination of Artworks.

NML is looking to procure a video 3D digital microscope that allows flexible examination and digital image capture of a wide range of museum collections, including 2D and 3D artworks, with minimal handling of the objects being examined.

The 3D digital microscope should provide a range of magnification from 10x to 5000x, with the minimum number of objective lenses to enable this. The microscope will have multiple illumination options including brightfield, darkfield and UV illumination.

The microscope should have a system of flexible stands and tables suitable for the examination of large paintings on vertical easels, small works on paper over horizontal surfaces and large 3-dimensional sculpture. It should also include a removeable handheld camera and lens for inspection of difficult to access areas of larger objects.

The control software should be compatible with Microscoft Windows 10, and include user friendly applications for image and video capture, image management, measurement and image analysis such as particle counting.

Delivery and installation is to be completed no later than Friday 5 March 2021
