Microscope Servicing & Repair

On site Microscope Servicing:                       

Microscope Systems Limited offer on site servicing of all types of optical microscopes. Our Olympus trained service engineer has over 30 years experience in the field.  

A microscope is an expensive investment for any company or individual to make so maintenance by a trained engineer on an annual or bi-annual basis is well worth considering. Without regular maintenance and alignment a microscope will soon begin to under perform resulting in poor analysis and sometimes costly mistakes.
