Is your scope showing any of these?

Most rigid scope faults start small. Catching them early usually means a simpler repair.

Cloudy or dark image

Fogging, haze or a dim picture — often moisture inside or damaged optics.

Broken lens

Chipped or cracked distal window, objective or eyepiece lens.

Bent or dented shaft

A bent shaft distorts the image and can damage the rod-lens system.

Fibre damage

Broken light fibres cause dark spots and uneven illumination.

Leakage

Failed seals let fluid in during cleaning or autoclaving.

Eyepiece damage

Loose, scratched or cracked eyepiece and coupling problems.

Brands we service

Standby scope

Request a standby scope when you book, so your scheduled procedures go ahead.

Free diagnosis, estimate first. We diagnose your scope free of charge and send an estimate. If a repair isn’t worth it, we’ll say so and show you trade-in and lease options instead.

Use the original case or a rigid, padded case so the shaft cannot bend. After you book, we’ll send detailed packing instructions.
