Microscope Specialty Repairs | Munday Microscope

Munday Scientific often goes beyond common repairs of broken microscopes and related equipment. Many of our clients request specialty repairs that require a deeper dive into the inner workings of the device. We can do a quick assessment through a conversation to diagnose the potential problem. Then the client can ship the equipment to us for specialized repair. In many cases, the repair can be turned around very quickly, helping our clients get back up and running in little time.

Replacement for Olympus part# AD046400

Munday Scientific recommends following this procedure (see video) when shipping in your pod for repair.  We only require the Pod itself to make this repair.  Munday Scientific stocks Heads, Objectives and Stands to test the item properly.  This procedure will lower risks for shipping damage.  ALWAYS DOUBLE BOX your microscope when shipping and make sure that it is loose in the box.  You shouldn’t be able to hear any movement with a gentle shake of the box.
