Microscope Maintenance Training for Biomed Teams
We train your biomed team to handle routine microscope care on your own equipment, in two or five days, and stay on as your specialist for repair, alignment, and anything beyond routine.
More hospitals are stretching microscope PM intervals or moving routine maintenance in-house to control costs. That works well when the people doing the work know microscopes. Our training gives your biomedical or clinical engineering team the hands-on skills to care for your scopes between specialist visits, and a clear, documented line between what is safe to do in-house and when to call us.
The idea is simple: we teach your team the routine work, and we keep the specialist work.
Two programs
Every program includes
Specialty instrument modules
If your team also supports specialty instruments, add a three-hour hands-on module on your own instruments of that type. Modules are available for Hoffman, DIC, and IVF workstations; PCM and PLM microscopes for asbestos and industrial hygiene labs; petrographic and polarizing microscopes; slit lamps; colposcopes; dental operating microscopes; and digital microscopes. Each module adds a printed supplement and a specialty certificate for each participant.
Who it is for
Hospital biomedical and clinical engineering departments, pathology and clinical labs with a biomed team down the hall, hospitals moving microscope PM in-house or extending PM intervals, small labs and clinics with one or two biomeds, and universities and teaching labs with large student fleets.
How it works
A short call about your team size and your microscopes.
We recommend a program and send a proposal for your facility.
We set dates that fit your team's workload.
Hands-on training on site, certificates on the last day.
Where we work
We train on site across Greater Houston, including Houston, the Texas Medical Center, Sugar Land, Katy, Cypress, The Woodlands, Pearland, Pasadena, Clear Lake, and Baytown. Training outside the Houston area is available by arrangement.
Common questions
What does biomed microscope training cover?
Routine microscope care: cleaning optics safely, lubrication, bulb replacement, inspection, spotting problems early, and documenting PM. The 5-Day program adds Köhler setup, alignment and calibration verification, and full troubleshooting.
Is the training done on our own microscopes?
Yes. Training is on site, on the microscopes your team supports, and every participant completes a full PM under supervision before the program ends.
How many people can attend?
From one person up to ten per session. Larger teams are split into two sessions.
Does the training cover alignment or calibration correction?
No. The 5-Day program teaches your team to verify alignment and calibration and to recognize when correction is needed. Correction, repairs that require disassembly, and other specialist work stay with us.
Is this a certification?
Each participant receives a certificate of completion for training and competency records. It is not a manufacturer or state certification.
Will in-house maintenance void our warranty?
The training covers only routine work that is safe to do in-house. Anything that could affect a warranty stays with a specialist.
Can we split the 5-Day program?
Yes. The 5-Day Intensive can be split across two weeks so your team is not away from regular work for a full week.
How is training priced?
