Sky Optical ServicesMicroscope & Lab Equipment Service
Sky Optical Services keeps hospitals, clinics, veterinary practices, and laboratories running, with hands-on sales, repair, and maintenance for the instruments your team relies on every day.
We work on every make and model, not just one brand, so you get one dependable provider instead of juggling several. You'll always have a direct line to the person coordinating your service, not a call center or a rotating cast of new faces.
Three core services, built around keeping your equipment reliably in working order and your team confident handling the basics in between visits.
Full support for optical, stereo, and clinical microscopes, whether it's routine maintenance, a repair, or help selecting new equipment.
During your regular microscope visit, we can also check the rest of your lab equipment and issue documentation confirming it's working correctly.
We train your in-house biomedical engineering team to confidently handle routine preventive maintenance, and stay on as your dedicated partner for everything beyond it.
