Microscope Facility Rates

Payment arrangements for Facility services must be established in advance. Typically, a single account is used for charging expenses from an entire lab group, generating monthly billing statements. Below are the rates effective September 1, 2007 (prior rates). The new multiphoton microscope has two service contracts, so we must charge a higher rate than other microscopes (effective July 1, 2009).
