Frequently Asked Questions
We’re here to address all your microscopy needs, from servicing a wide range of models to designing solutions for obsolete systems.
What is a bespoke microscope system?
Our in-house research and development team can design and manufacture a wide range of custom, bespoke parts and systems, from adapter plates to TIRF systems. With a dedicated machine shop on-site, we have the capability to modify, machine components, and assemble complete systems — transforming concepts into finished products. Please contact us with your ideas; we would be pleased to collaborate with you to achieve your goals in innovative applications.
Can you create parts for obsolete microscopes?
This is one of our specialties. In cases where a mechanical component, such as a bevelled gear, is damaged and no longer available from the manufacturer, we can either repair the existing gear or fabricate a replacement. Please contact us with your specific requirements.
What types of customisations are possible?
This is open to discussion, as we would need to assess the feasibility of your idea, as not all customizations are practical. Please contact us to discuss your requirements, and we will work with you to find a viable solution. solution.
