| Microscopy Service Fees | |
| Microscope Service Work (Operator Provided)
Service microscopy charges include the microscope hourly fee (see above), plus $25.00 per hour for technical assistance. Some of the more specialized instrumentation is available only on a service basis. |
|
| Specimen Preparation Fees
Pricing varies depending upon amount of processing needed. Biological specimens, which require more steps than non-biologicals, will be more costly. A precise figure will be provided after determination of specific needs. Costs range from $20.00 to over $100.00. Savings may be realized if some processing is done by the investigator and completed by IMAGE. |
