Fee and Time Schedule
The goal of the EM Research Core Facility is to provide low cost and prompt electron microscopic evaluation of your research specimens. An initial consultation with the Director is helpful to establish how we can best process and examine your particular specimen type. An innovative technical approach may be necessary for unusual types of research specimens. A consultation will provide a well-defined and an economical approach for the individual research project.
Note: Use of the core's TEM by trained users is billed at $95/hour unless otherwise specified. Use of SEM for biological projects is only available through the Medical Center's core facility.
