New USA Headquarters for Syncroscopy Promises Superior Service and Support for Microscopists

May 22 2003, Cambridge, UK: Syncroscopy, the world leader in unique digital imaging solutions for microscopy, is delighted to announce that Syncroscopy USA has relocated to a larger, better equipped facility in Frederick, Maryland. Staffed by Syncroscopy experts, the new premises will allow Syncroscopy’s USA customers to have a direct link to dedicated personnel to answer all their microscopy application needs. 

The new Syncroscopy site has excellent access to major roads and three local airports, making it easy for new and existing users of Syncroscopy’s technology to visit. A well-equipped laboratory will ensure microscopists can see all the latest versions of Syncroscopy’s unique systems for digital microscopy being expertly demonstrated. There is also a fully operational service area with highly experienced engineers available to discuss how to set up and apply Syncroscopy’s technology for optimum performance. 

Paul Ellwood, President of Syncroscopy USA commented: “Currently almost half of Syncroscopy’s technical staff world-wide are based at our new US facility – that’s how serious we are about supporting our US microscopy users. Our move to this new building will provide Syncroscopy with 50 percent more space in the form of new demonstration and service facilities. It is also a good indication of how committed we are to expanding and improving our technical capabilities, as well as providing total support for all digital imaging applications.”
