This will be transformative in speed and spatial resolution and will offer users streamlined access to enhanced instruments for life and physical sciences. The scope of this contract is to manufacture a number of pre-series and production PEBPM bellows assemblies for the assembly into the Diamond-II storage ring. This will require several development activities, such as design, manufacturing trials, manufacture, welding, inspection, testing and delivery to DLS. Installation at DLS by the supplier is not required.
