Cleaning and Repairs
Microscopes
Overtime general wear and everyday use can cause microscopes to deteriorate. Eyepieces, objectives and the prisms can delaminate, become scratched, or just dirty. Beyond dirt and grime the mechanics of microscopes can break down as well, making repairs necessary for continued use. As microscope technicians, Tice Associates cleans microscopes inside and out, cleaning eyepieces, prisms, objectives as well as the exterior of the microscope.
We recommend yearly cleanings are scheduled, to keep your equipment functioning for many years. It is more economical in the long run to pay for yearly servicing than to pay for brand new microscopes every few years.

Balances
Balances need cleaning and calibration with use. We clean and calibrate as well as repair balances, including digital balances. We recommend that you service your balances yearly. Scheduling yearly check-ups makes economic sense. School equipment goes through a lot of use. With proper maintenance, your equipment will last for many years. It is more economical in the long run to pay for yearly servicing than to pay for brand new balances every few years. We keep records of all work done and upon request can leave you with a log of all service done.
We know that school budgets can be tight, and having your microscopes cleaned each year can be difficult. We understand this and in many cases can work with you to accommodate your budget needs. We also schedule service year round to accommodate your scheduling needs. Please contact us for more information.
