Park AutoProbe CP II - Replacement Controller and Repair Service

How does the replacement work?

The safest way of getting an older tool running again is to test the whole unit - microscope base with head and electronics. This is why we prefer that you ship us your base so that we can test what might be necessary to do to bring it back to full performance. We offer repair on almost all parts (laser, scanner, linearization, illumination), however, things might be broken up to a costly level. If you order a controller, we do all the repair on list prices.

What do you get?

A new PC. A new controller. New software. Repaired scanners or heads - fully tested. Scaled and linearized with the new software. A description of all connectors and how to handle the system. AND, if you wish, a re-installation service in your lab.

Why is it worth spending money?

Well, you might simply like to keep your beloved nanotechnology tool.
