Absolute Clarity’s optical refurbishments includes: Decontamination, Parfocality and Alignment
“We make them look and work like new”.
A lack of regular and proper maintenance will lead to the need for microscope repair. The internal lubricants aromatic components evaporate and begin the internal contamination process. Once a film of sticky contamination has coated the internal optics dirt can stick to the film making the images dull and hazy. As the lubricants dry out you may notice that the zoom knob is hard to turn or the optics may chatter when zooming up or down. The next stage is complete lock up of the zoom mechanism. This lubricant problem also affects rack & pinion focus assemblies.
Other common microscope problems include optical misalignment or parfocality issues. Absolute Clarity’s knowledgeable staff has extensive experience in microscope repair and refurbishments including microscope realignment and decontaminations. We know microscopes inside and out, down to the component level. See our Common Microscope Problems blog for more information.
