Fees and Project Completion 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 efficient approach for the individual research project.
