Our Team

TSS Microscopy started operations in 2003 as Technical Sales Solutions, a company founded to address the growing need for cost-effective options that allowed more labs to obtain high-performance SEM and FIB. Since then, with hundreds of SEM, TEM, FIB and dual beam installations completed worldwide, we’ve grown our team and our support offerings to become more than an equipment re-seller. We are proud to now be a full-service solution provider in the electron microscopy market. Remanufactured instruments are a great way to stretch budgets while still enabling leading edge research. We also support customers with accessories, consumables, service and training and alleviate uncertainty about investing in a pre-owned equipment. Whether buying or selling, we stand with you at every step of the process. We can handle all the logistics – from consulting, packing and crating, delivery, and installation, to comprehensive training, warranty, and reliable after-care maintenance. Our inventory features microscopes from all major manufacturers, enabling us to focus on finding the instrument solution that is right for your application needs.

Remanufacturing Process

All instruments sold by TSS Microscopy undergo a detailed process to ensure that they meet the original OEM performance specifications at the customer site. Our engineers don't just replace parts; they dig in deeper to fully understand and test each instrument.
