Note: Training is charged at an Assisted Rate (Instrument Rate + Lab Staff Rate)
*Minimum usage time is one hour. After the first hour, increments of half-hour can be billed.
**Rates shown for SEM/FIB and TEM/STEM correspond to Unassisted Operation. For Assisted Operation, meaning Staff is operating the instrument, please add Lab Staff Assisted Rate.
***Rates shown for XRD correspond to Unassisted Operation. For Assisted Operation add Lab Staff Assisted Rate.
****XRD off-peak hours (weekends) unassisted usage is $45.00.
*****Rates shown for MicroCT correspond to Unassisted Operation. For Assisted Operation add Lab Staff Assisted Rate.
******MicroCT off-peak hours (weekends and after hours) unassisted internal usage is $25.00. For Data Analysis/Software Training, the hourly rate is $50.00
