Fees/rates for use of equipment in the Microscopy Suite determined through analysis by Government Costing, University of Illinois. In effect starting August 1, 2021; subject to change.
Rigaku CT Lab HX
The Rigaku CT Lab HX130 is a versatile CT scanner that can cover high-resolution (2.1 µm voxel) to a large field of view (up to 200mm) scans. This benchtop micro-computed tomography (CT) scanner has an adjustable applied voltage (30 - 130kV), 39 W X-ray source, and can complete a CT scan in as short as 18 seconds. The HX is a unique scanner as it has both an adjustable source-to-object distance and source-to-detector distance allowing users more flexibility when obtaining scans.

Notes:
* The fee for use is added to our purchase cost for the specific precious metal (gold, gold-palladium, or platinum) expended during coating. Gold and gold-palladium are charged at $0.30/nm, and platinum is charged at $0.45/nm. The added fee is easy to determine for the dual-metal evaporator, for which total thicknesses are reported in nm. For the sputter coaters, at 65 mTorr and 40 mA, gold coats at 3 nm/10 seconds, gold-palladium coats at 1 nm/10 seconds, and platinum coats at 1 nm/10 seconds. So a standard 70-second coat of gold will cost an additional (21 x 0.30) $6.30, a 70-second coat of gold-palladium will cost (7 x 0.30) $2.10, and a 70-second coat of platinum will cost (7 x 0.45) $3.15.
