Since 1999, Blais Microscope Company has provided professional on-site microscope service and repair across the United States, helping laboratories, medical facilities, universities, and industrial operations keep their microscopes operating at peak performance. If your microscope has a head out of alignment, a failing electrical system, a damaged stage, or a component that simply needs repair, our experienced technicians can help.

 

We diagnose microscope issues and restore equipment to proper working condition. We specialize in microscope repairs beyond the manufacturer’s “End of Life” period, and maintain a large inventory of rare and hard-to-find parts. When original OEM parts are no longer available, we frequently work with trusted third-party manufacturers to custom fabricate replacement components, ensuring your microscope can continue operating for years to come.
