Do you supply and install microscopes across the UK?
Yes — we supply, deliver, install, calibrate and commission microscopes across the UK. Our team provides on-site installation and hands-on training at your facility. We are based in Hertfordshire but cover the full UK, including universities, NHS trusts, pharmaceutical companies and industrial customers. Contact us for delivery and installation lead times.
Can you help me choose the right microscope for my application?
Yes — this is one of the main reasons to buy from us rather than a direct online supplier. Tell us what you need to image, your sample type, imaging modalities required, budget and any specific constraints. We will recommend the right system and configure it correctly — objectives, contrast method, illumination, camera and software, before you buy.
Do you offer servicing, repairs or upgrades for microscopes?
Yes — we service, calibrate and repair microscopes, including systems not originally supplied by us. We offer preventive maintenance contracts, emergency call-out support and component upgrades. Contact us with your system details — make, model and what support is required — and we will advise on options and pricing.
Can you provide a microscope specification for a grant application?
Yes — we regularly support grant applications by producing detailed equipment specifications, configuration descriptions, pricing and supporting justification. We can also provide lead time letters and budget estimates. Contact us with your grant timeline and requirements and we will support the specification process at no charge.
How do i request a quotation or discuss a microscope setup?
Contact us by phone or email with your requirements including sample type, imaging application, budget range and any specific constraints. We will advise on the right system, provide a detailed quotation and, if needed, arrange a demonstration. For complex or custom requirements, we can arrange a consultation call with our technical team.
