Hello Peter, you can view our pricing policy by following the link in my
signature. In short, we charge $20 an hour and train all users prior to
use of our LSM 510 NLO microscopes. Users must also be members of the
core which has an annual fee. The $20 an hour does not even cover the
cost of the service contracts for the equipment so your particular
needs, desires, and philosophy for your facility, may be different.
Cheers,

Hi,

Our facility has just installed a LSM 510, and we're trying to determine

a fee schedule for it. I thought a good start might be to get an idea of

what other facilities, on average, charge per hour for assisted use on 
this equipment, ergo, what the going rate is in an academic setting.

Thanks for any feedback,
Peter
