Brunel SP28

The Brunel SP28 is an innovation. This microscope design is exclusive to Brunel Microscopes and is manufactured for us to our own design. The SP28 bridges a gap. In microscopy there is always a choice to be made between high power microscopes to look at transparent specimens on microscope slides and low power stereomicroscopes to look at whole objects that are not transparent. The flexible light arm means that top light can be applied with the low power objectives - up to x20 but no higher. The unit has x4, x10, x20 and x40 objectives giving a magnification range of x40 to x400. This unit has been used only by ourselves for customer demonstrations for a period of 3 months or so. Condition pristine and fully guaranteed.
