Thorlabs
Simbol Test Systems has limited experience in repair, troubleshooting and calibration of Thorlabs products as most of them are passive alignement pieces. Still, if you are experiencing problems with a Thorlabs active piece of test equipment, do not hesitate to get in touch with Simbol and describe the problem to see if we are up to the challenge.
