Fee for Service
The High-Resolution Microscopy and Advanced Imaging Center owns JEOL Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (JEOL SEM) model JSM-IT710HR/LV which is obtained through NSF MRI grant in 2024. This JEOL SEM is equipped with EDAX Velocity Pro EBSD Analysis System, EDAX Elect Super X-ray detector and Deben Coolstage ULTRA system MK3 (for cryo-SEM capability). The facility provides service to the faculty and entities named in the NSF MRI award with no charge. The facility offers fixed-cost options for standard services, including sample preparation, imaging and analysis for outside for-profit users. The service is prioritized depending on the funding sources: first for the award receivers, then service can be provided to entities funded by other federal grants and thereafter to outside private companies. The service fee is developed in comparison with the similar services provided by for-profit companies, considering that the rate of charges cannot be less than the one established by private companies. Instrument use fees for outside users help to defray the costs of maintenance and consumables. The facility requires that payment arrangement is prepared before service is initiated, the quote can be provided upon request. After service completion, the invoice will be emailed to the client, and the payment is due within 30 days of the invoice's date.
