Abstract
Mossbauer spectroscopy has matured towards having a strong emphasis on industrial applications, however nearly all of its practitioners rema in in universities or in government institutions. Possible reasons for the paucity of Mossbauer spectrometers in the industrial environment are given. One explanation is that Mossbauer spectroscopists in instit utions do not properly price measurements performed for firms. In the long term, undercharging is to the detriment of industrial application s of the Mossbauer effect. To help institution-based workers value the ir work, details of costing and pricing Mossbauer measurements perform ed for industry are provided.
