Microscope Services actively promotes environmental sustainability.

  • Regular maintenance reduces replacements

    • Due to our regular in-house maintenance, our microscopes can last up to 25 years or longer.

  • We maintain an inventory of used parts

    • We keep parts from microscopes that have been taken out of the rental pool and use them to repair older scopes. This allows us to keep items in use for a longer period of time.

  • Resale and Reuse

    • At the end of their useful life, the majority of microscopes and accessories are transferred to AggieSurplus.

  • Keeping it local

    • Since we are located on the Davis campus, we minimize the use of fossil fuels and reduce the campus' carbon footprint.
