01
Fault diagnosis and repair
Analysis of column, source, vacuum, electronics, imaging and mechanical faults. Ketna looks for the root cause, not only the visible symptom.
Ketna service for UK laboratories
Specialist support for high-value SEM/TEM systems
An electron microscope depends on the stability of the electron source, vacuum, column, detectors, electronics, mechanics and software. Ketna looks at the full system before recommending parts or service actions.
That approach helps UK teams understand whether the best next step is repair, preventive maintenance, source work, spare parts or a carefully planned relocation.
Repair, maintenance and technical support
Electron microscope repair UK: Repair, maintenance and technical support
Ketna supports materials science, life sciences, nanotechnology, semiconductor work, industrial R&D and quality-control teams that depend on repeatable SEM/TEM results.
02
Preventive maintenance
Inspection, cleaning, critical-parameter checks, alignment and practical recommendations to reduce unplanned downtime.
03
Filament and source work
Replacement of filaments and source-related components, followed by checks of beam stability and image quality.
04
Parts and consumables
Support with original parts or high-quality alternatives depending on model, availability, budget and usage profile.
05
Relocation and reinstallation
Planning, disassembly, transport preparation, reinstallation, alignment and functional testing after relocation.
06
Operator training
Practical training for daily use, safe routines, basic checks, warning signs and more stable imaging.
When does your SEM or TEM need technical service?
When does your SEM or TEM need technical service?
Unstable electron beam
Drift, brightness changes, loss of sharpness or alignment difficulty may indicate wear, contamination or subsystem faults.
Vacuum issues
Long pump-down times, warnings or unstable pressure call for checks of seals, pumps, valves and contaminated areas.
Noise or resolution loss
Detector faults, high voltage, column contamination or incorrect settings can reduce the value of measurements.
Worn filament or source
A worn filament lowers stability and signal. Timely replacement can prevent further damage and downtime.
Issues after relocation
After a move, vacuum, mechanics, cooling, alignment and functionality should be checked before routine use.
Unclear parts situation
Ketna helps assess whether repair, refurbishment or replacement is economical and which parts matter first.
Why Ketna
A technical team for microscopes where downtime matters
Ketna is not a general repair provider. We focus on electron microscopes and laboratory systems that must deliver repeatable results, so communication with operators, lab managers, R&D and technical departments stays concrete.
Diagnosis
Clear technical assessment before parts are replaced.
Planning
Service matched to model, urgency and laboratory workload.
Coverage
Repair, maintenance, parts, relocation and training.
EU service
Support for specialised laboratories across Europe.
Workflow
From fault report to a stable microscope
Service starts with a concise technical intake. From there we decide whether remote analysis, spare-parts planning or on-site service is the right next move.
Intake
Model, symptoms, fault codes, service history and urgency.
Diagnosis plan
Likely causes, measurement points and possible spare parts.
Service
Repair, maintenance, cleaning, replacement, alignment or relocation.
Test
Checks of function, image quality, vacuum and follow-up recommendations.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about electron microscope repair
Does Ketna repair both SEM and TEM electron microscopes?
Yes. Ketna supports scanning electron microscopes and transmission electron microscopes, depending on the model, fault and parts availability.
Can Ketna support customers in this country?
Yes. Ketna supports customers across Europe. After technical intake we agree whether remote diagnosis, spare parts or on-site service is appropriate.
How often should an electron microscope be maintained?
For many laboratories, annual inspection is sensible. Heavy use, older systems or critical applications may justify a shorter interval.
What information helps with fast diagnosis?
Model details, serial number, fault codes, photos, symptom description, recent service history and when the problem appears are all useful.
Can Ketna help relocate an electron microscope?
Yes. Ketna can support disassembly, transport planning, reinstallation, calibration and functional testing after relocation.
