They ensure that the mechanical movement, electrical safety and optical alignment are in perfect order, with no dust in the optical system. Our superior quality is supported by their experience and our inventory of microscope parts on-hand. Warranty Policy Warranty Policy Parco Scientific warrants its microscopes to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of five years starting from the date of purchase. A record of the original purchase order should be kept on file to verify the purchase and ensure warranty validation. This warranty is non-transferable and is only applicable to the original purchaser named on the original purchase order.

This warranty does not cover damage incurred in transit, or resulting from abuse, misuse, negligence or repairs and alterations performed by a non-authorized repair technician, and any other non-conformance to written maintenance instructions. This warranty excludes electrical problems that arise as a result of bulbs, batteries, or fuses and electrical components which are not determined to be from manufacturing defect. Electrical warranty is valid for 1 year, unless otherwise deemed as a manufacturing defect. After 1 year, authorization will be determined on an individual basis. Optics and lenses that become inoperable as a result of misuse or due to lack of normal maintenance are not covered under this warranty. This warranty does not cover repair or replacement where normal use has exhausted the life of the instrument or its parts. All instruments require periodic parts replacement and general service to perform optimally. Deficient instruments will be replaced or repaired at the discretion of Parco Scientific. Parco Scientific assumes no responsibility or liability of incidental or consequential damages as a result of using our instruments.
