    Brief

    This opportunity seeks the provision of a Correlative Tweezers-Fluorescence System for the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMS). The system should integrate optical tweezers technology with fluorescence microscopy capabilities to enable simultaneous mechanical manipulation and optical imaging of biological specimens. This advanced instrumentation will support research requiring real-time visualization and mechanical characterization of molecular and cellular systems. Potential suppliers should have expertise in developing or integrating correlative microscopy systems that combine laser-based optical trapping with fluorescence detection and imaging capabilities.
