Do you need a bespoke part for your microscope?
In response to the growing number of our customers requiring bespoke components in order to complete complex imaging systems, Image Solutions has expanded by forming a custom engineering division.
Staffed by skilled and experienced toolmakers the new facility boasts state of the art CNC milling and lathe facilities, as well as a variety of material processing capabilities enabling production of any bespoke component to complete any custom microscopy solution.
