Leica SP2 and SP5 confocal service and repair.

Maintenance for Leica SP2 and SP5 confocals

The Leica SP2 and SP5 remain in daily use across universities, hospitals, and research institutes. They are capable instruments, but as they age, manufacturer support narrows and labs are left looking for someone who still knows these systems well. Arcroyal Systems provides service for Leica SP2 and SP5 confocal microscopes and related Leica laser-scanning platforms, with a focus on keeping them imaging reliably rather than pushing a replacement.

Work typically includes cleaning and aligning the optical path, diagnosing laser and detector issues, restoring image quality, and updating the control computer when it becomes the bottleneck.

Who this is for

Labs and core facilities running Leica confocals that are out of warranty or past end-of-support, and teams who want a responsive, specialist service partner instead of a generalist call center. We work with government entities through SAM.gov registration and are a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB).

Common Leica confocal issues

We regularly see reduced signal or uneven illumination, lasers that are slow to stabilize or fail outright, alignment drift after years of use or after a room change, and aging acquisition PCs that struggle with modern data volumes. Many of these issues are repairable — and an end-of-support label does not mean a system has to be retired.

Contracts, upgrades, and relocation

Pair repairs with an annual preventive maintenance checkup — cleaning, alignment, and application assistance — or a full-coverage service contract. We can add a laser line or refresh the system computer, and when your lab relocates we handle the complete system move: deinstallation, packing, shipping, reinstallation, and calibration on arrival.
