The money for the multi-photon microscope and accessory is already conceded by federal state.  We consider how the facility with service, repair and reserve fund for a new laser could be financed. The structure here consists different departments of university (from clinics to biology) which all have their own budgets and will use the multi-photon microscope. For the confocal microscopes and the spinning disc microscope at university a charge for system use must be paid. In my opinion this will be difficult for a multi-photon microscope as the prize for a new laser is up to 200000€.
