Dermatology & Mohs Lab Microscope Service in Houston

Preventive maintenance and repair for the microscopes Mohs surgeons and dermatopathology teams read frozen sections on, scheduled so surgery days are never interrupted.

Sky Optical Services · (832) 819-1104 · support@skyopticalservices.com

In a Mohs practice the microscope sits on the critical path. The patient waits while the surgeon reads each frozen section, so a hazy image, a drifting focus, or a failed lamp does not just slow down a report, it stops surgery. Sky Optical Services keeps Mohs lab and dermatology microscopes sharp and dependable, and schedules every visit around your surgery days.

What we do for Mohs and dermatology labs

Preventive maintenanceOptics cleaned, Köhler alignment, focus and stage adjustment, and a documented function check on every scope.
Multi-head and teaching scopesAlignment of the pointer, the shared light path, and every viewing head, so the surgeon and the fellow see the same thing.
Clear frozen section readsHaze, uneven lighting, and mounting medium residue on objectives cleaned and corrected, so margins read cleanly.
Repairs between visitsFocus drift, sticky stages, and illumination failures diagnosed and repaired quickly.
Office microscopesThe general dermatology scope used for KOH preps and scrapings, cleaned and kept reliable.
Service recordsA report for every instrument, ready for your equipment file and CLIA or accreditation review.

Scheduled around surgery

We work on site, on non-surgery days or after the last case, so your lab never loses a scope on a day it is needed. For practices with one microscope in the Mohs lab, a yearly or twice-yearly PM is the simplest way to avoid a failure in the middle of a case.

Scope of work. Cryostats, stainers, and digital pathology cameras stay with their manufacturers. We focus on the microscope optics, mechanics, and illumination.

Where we work

We provide on-site service across Greater Houston, including Houston, the Texas Medical Center, Sugar Land, Katy, Cypress, The Woodlands, Pearland, Pasadena, Clear Lake, and Baytown. Practices with several offices can schedule every location together.

How to get a quote

Send a list of your microscopes with make, model, quantity, and which office each is in, and we will put together a preventive maintenance quote. If a scope is giving you trouble now, we can schedule an evaluation visit.

Common questions

Can you service our Mohs lab microscope without interrupting surgery?

Yes. We schedule visits on non-surgery days or after the last case so the lab always has a working scope when it needs one.

Do you align multi-head teaching microscopes?

Yes. We align the shared light path, the pointer, and every viewing head so all viewers see the same sharp image.

How often should a Mohs lab microscope be serviced?

Most Mohs labs schedule preventive maintenance once or twice a year. Because the scope is used during surgery, many practices choose twice a year.

Do you service cryostats?

No. Cryostats and stainers stay with their manufacturers. We focus on the microscopes.

How do I get a quote?

Send your equipment list with make, model, quantity, and office location for a preventive maintenance quote, or request an evaluation visit if a scope needs diagnosis.
