Preventive Maintenance

Regular preventive maintenance helps maintain peak instrument performance to ensure that you can always expect top quality images and results from your microscope. To maintain a zone of optimal performance, certain tasks and mechanical checks must be done to your system on an ongoing basis. Minor and emerging issues can be detected early and corrected during planned preventive maintenance visits thus minimizing unplanned costly repairs or downtime.

Our PM service includes:

  • Comprehensive inspection of optical and mechanical components
  • Cleaning and lubrication of key moving parts
  • Alignment and calibration of objectives and illumination
  • Functionality testing of stages, focus drives, and cameras
  • Service report with documentation and recommendations

Service agreements available for labs requiring annual or biannual service visits. Multi-year agreements include discounted rates.

Preventive Maintenance

How often should preventive maintenance be performed?

For normal use microscopes, we recommend annual preventive maintenance. Microscopes used lightly should go no longer than 2 years without service. High use microscopes should be serviced 1-2 times per year.

 

Can I clean my microscope myself?

Yes, please refer to the Quick Guide for Cleaning and Disinfecting Microscopes. Our preventive service visits not only services external stand components and
optics, but also internal optics and stand components that require disassembly
only factory certified field service engineers may perform.
