Universiteit Leiden, via the Institute of Chemistry, is seeking a Spinning Disc Microscope for real-time imaging of live zebrafish larvae (0–12 dpf) and various biological samples (cells, organoids, tissue, organs). The equipment must support both brightfield and fluorescence imaging with high speed, sensitivity, and resolution, and be suitable for large samples (mm–cm), including samples exhibiting low fluoroprobe density after Expansion Microscopy (ExM). The microscope must enable fast, volumetric scans, allowing multiple zebrafish larvae at different developmental stages to be injected with nanomedicines and subsequently analyzed. The users are light microscopy experts and postdoc/PhD students who will receive training via permanent staff. The tender is public, via Mercell Source-to-Contract, with a full price list and technical questions available via the Mercell support database.

The Leiden Institute of Chemistry wishes to purchase a Spinning Disc microscope. The primary tasks of this setup is to image live zebrafish larvae (0 to 12 days post fertilization) and to image (i.e. brightfield and fluorescence imaging) biological samples (cells, organoids, tissue (sections), organs like the brain of zebrafish) before and after expansion using published Expansion Microscopy (ExM) protocols with high speed, sensitivity and resolution. Our spinning disc microscope is intended to be used to image large numbers of zebrafish larvae at different developmental stages before and afte

06Frequently asked questions

What are the primary applications of the Spinning Disc Microscope?

The microscope is used for real-time imaging of live zebrafish larvae (0 to 12 days post fertilization) and biological samples such as cells, organoids, tissue sections, and organs (e.g., the brain of zebrafish).

What technical requirements must the imaging meet?

The equipment must support both brightfield and fluorescence imaging with high speed, sensitivity, and resolution. There is a specific need for high sensitivity for samples that exhibit a low density of fluoroprobes after Expansion Microscopy (ExM).

What type of sample sizes is the microscope suitable for?

The microscope must be suitable for large samples with a size of several millimeters to centimeters in length, requiring fast imaging modes.

How does the registration and submission of the bid proceed?

Registration takes place via the Mercell Source-to-Contract platform. Bidders must complete the questionnaire under the 'Request for Quotation' button and complete the full price list to submit a full bid.

Where can technical questions about the system be asked?

For technical questions about the system, the support database via the Mercell database can be used. If the desired result is not found, the Mercell Service Desk can be contacted.
