Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe contract covers the supply of a fully automated inverted research fluorescence microscope delivered as a ready-to-operate complete solution for standardised routine imaging and flexible research applications. The system will mainly be used for automated, large-scale imaging of pollen on Hirst tape or comparable adhesive carriers, on slides prepared with Vaseline or similar media, and of individually prepared reference pollen. Further applications include phytoplankton in slides and flat sample and counting chambers as well as small botanical reference samples such as seeds and surface structures. The resulting multimodal image datasets are intended for quantitative image analysis and for the development and evaluation of machine learning and artificial intelligence methods.
