Technician– A microscopy technician is available for contract work at the rate of $55.00/hr for UH users and $82.50/hr for outside users. Arrangements for technician services should be made well in advance.

Consumable supplies (digital media, specimen stubs, fixatives, embedding media, etc.) for microscopy may be obtained from the BEMF with advance consultation. Supplies will be billed at our cost (including tax, shipping and overhead) and a small markup. We request that frequent users purchase their own consumable supplies.

We are always willing to discuss the feasibility of projects and provide cost estimates without obligation.
