Description

The School of Geosciences, University of Edinburgh hosts a bespoke cone-beam X-ray microtomography instrument which was designed and constructed in-house. This tendering process is to acquire a replacement X-ray source for that instrument. Both open microfocus X-ray source(s) with active vacuum pumping and closed X-ray tube types will be considered. This tender request is for the provision and commissioning of an X-ray source and its essential ancillary equipment. Physical integration of the source into our existing X-ray microtomography instrument will be completed in-house. The Edinburgh instrument is housed in an interlocked, shielded room - while there are few restrictions on space, the requested technical details include the dimensions of the X-ray source(s) and support equipment to permit estimation of the footprint required. Integration of the X-ray source control software with the data acquisition software of our microtomography instrument is not required. The tendering, commissioning and integration of the source into our existing microtomography instrument will be subject to consultation with and approval by the University’s Radiation Safety Officer.
