# SEM-EDX microscope with glovebox for the JRC Geel

The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in Geel seeks a desktop scanning electron microscope with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis for characterising targets. The instrument must be integrated into a glovebox for use with radioactive material. The notice also includes supply and maintenance. TED gives an estimated procedure value of €300,000; VAT treatment is unstated. Its deadline is 9 November 2026 at 16:00:59 CET (UTC+01).
