## Description

We require HDR Streak Cameras that will be provided under the contract\. The aim of the tender activity is to source two cameras and then once the evaluation has been completed and the pricing received, for a third to be purchased at a later date\. It does not need to be the same make and model for both cameras\. The importance lies in functionality and ease-of-use\. A streak camera is an instrument for measuring the variation in a pulse of light's intensity within a given time and in this instance will be used to measure the pulse duration of ultrafast laser systems\. It will require a high dynamic range to enable STFC to improve their accuracy for measurements and diagnostics\.
