Hi Matt,
we have our microscopes serviced by Leica. They service all of our microscopes, regardless of make or model and do a brillant job. We had some bad experiences in the past with other providers. However, Leica are not cheap and I suspect if you only have one scope to service the callout charge might be considerably greater than the cost of doing the job. I would give them a call (0800 298 2344) and get a quote. If it's too expensive can you pool a service with another institution to share the callout charge? (I would offer but we have just had ours done a few months ago...) Or maybe you can send it in to them.
Regards

Subject: Microscope refurbishment
Hi,
Has anyone got any contacts who can recommend a technician or firm who can who can refurbish or clean microscopes?
We have a very nice Wild M21 (pronounced Vildt) petrologic microscope in need of some TLC!
Cheers,
Matt

A museum in Devon has a few stuffed specimens of local wildlife (prob early-mid 20th century) which they are planning to get rid of. Any interest? If so I will ask for a list of details and photos.
All the best
Helena
