What Affects Accessory Pricing?
- System generation: M3000, M5000 and M7000 share some cubes but not every mechanical adapter.
- Bundle discounts: Buying multiple cubes or objectives with a new system often reduces the per-item price.
- Academic vs commercial: UK universities may access academic list prices or framework agreements.
- Stock status: Popular cubes (DAPI, GFP) are usually UK stock; custom or far-red cubes may be 4–6 weeks.
- Warranty and support: Some accessories are only supplied with a service contract or installed by a field engineer.
