    Brief

    This procurement opportunity is for a 128-element MCT (Mercury Cadmium Telluride) array detector featuring extended hold time capability. MCT detectors are sensitive infrared detection devices commonly used in scientific research, thermal imaging, and spectroscopy applications. The extended hold time feature enables longer integration periods for improved signal collection and sensitivity. Suppliers should be prepared to provide technical specifications including detector sensitivity, operating temperature range, readout electronics compatibility, and performance metrics. This equipment is suitable for organizations requiring high-performance infrared detection capabilities for research or analytical purposes.
