- Description
In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a sole source basis to Oxford Instruments America, Inc., to procure an AztecMinerals software package to upgrade the existing the JEOL Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) in NETL-s Microscopy and Microanalysis Laboratory in Albany, OR, specifically to enable rigorous and high-throughput automated mineral analysis on a high-resolution, field-emission scanning electron microscope platform. The existing SEM is equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction detectors, all manufactured by Oxford Instruments. The upgrade provides an automated solution for high-throughput imaging and elemental analysis of materials using advanced scanning electron microscopy combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to provide detailed, statistically robust datasets. The system enables rapid and accurate identification and quantification of minerals and elements in a sample. Additionally, the added Oxford hardware and software will be used to quantify textural features of minerals (e.g. association, grain/particle size, orientation etc.) and morphological features (shape, aspect ratio, roundness etc.). These properties can be used for sorting, filtering, and categorization of particles and grains. As a result, it is possible to obtain both quantity of minerals and grains (or particles) of a specific texture, association, or morphology. Through unique customizable scripting, users can describe particle texture and quantify particles left behind during the beneficiation process. The AztecMinerals software is specifically designed to operate with Oxford Instruments' Ultim Max SDD detectors. It exploits the performance of up to 4 of Oxford Instruments- large area ... - Documents:
