Microscope Servicing

At Optical Repairs we offer you the best in microscope servicing and repairs, and aim to repair or maintain instruments to their full optical potential irrespective of age, make or model.

Our services are cost effective across the range, from individual use microscopes all the way to multiple units (which require regular preventative maintenance). We can offer either on-site repairs and maintenance or for more complex issues we have a dedicated workshop facility.

We would be delighted to discuss your service or maintenance requirements and how we can assist in keeping your optical equipment functioning correctly, and potentially prolong it’s lifespan.

Whether it’s a microscope or other optical device used solely by yourself, or several units that require a periodic preventative maintenance (PM) plan, please feel free to contact us to discuss the most cost-effective way in which to keep it operating correctly and optimally maintained.
