* Price for "Instrument user training" is equal to the hourly rate of the instrument for an average of 2-4 training hours (1h for Evos), plus an average of 3-5 hours of technical assistance with the accompanying hourly rate. Simple systems will require less assistance than the more advanced systems. A theoretical introduction is given for free. See "services" for more details on user training at CMIC-ALM.

** We are open to discuss prices based on an individual project basis. All prices include the creation of a Github/Zenodo repository to display your pipeline following FAIR principles.

*** Get in touch with us to discuss your image analysis needs and aims. We can advice on which instruments better suit your goals. We will conduct a feasability test and create a simple prototype to check if we can extract the information you want from your images with no cost.

**** Complex pipelines sometimes require additional work in terms of maintenance, adding functions or training new deep learning models. Model training cost will be associated to workstation usage.
