Rates

Fees are used to help cover the cost of the service contracts on the microscopes (which are partially subsidized by the Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics) and to help pay for materials such as lens paper, lens cleaning solution and mercury bulbs.

Overnight and weekend rates are available. Please contract the director for details.
