Training fees and microscope usage options
Training, usage and Imaging-by-staff fees
- You can choose the Imaging-by-staff service where we image your samples for you. No training is required.
- To use our microscope yourself, you must be trained by us. Training on most LCI systems gives access to several microscopes. The training fee includes 3h of free imaging the week after the training. Users who only need to follow a pipeline established by one of our trained users have access to the Follow the pipeline training.
- To use our equipment and servers, you can choose to pay per hour or to buy a membership. Unlimited free expert consultation is always included.
- The LCI has 2 image analysis servers: the Multi-user and the Single-user Remote Desktop. All membership fees include free access to the Multi-user remote desktop.
- Memberships are individual and not transferable between users.
