Brunel SP24 Binocular
Originally sold by ourselves this is a very good value binocular microscope. Achromatic x4, x10, x40 and x100 (oil immersion) objectives with x10 wide field eyepieces giving a magnification range of x40 to x1000. Mechanical stage with drop down coaxial controls and double vernier scale. Substage condenser with iris diaphragm. Coaxial coarse and fine focus controls. Tungsten light source with brightness control. Condition excellent.

Brunel SP13
An ex demonstration microscope used only by ourselves for a few months. Objectives (standard RMS) x4, x10 and x40 giving an overall magnification of x40 to x400 with the x10 wide field eyepiece. Coaxial coarse and fine focus controls. This microscope has two light sources, both brightness controlled. The transmitted light is used for examining standard microscope slides and the top light enables solid objects such as insects, leaves etc to be examined at x40 and x100 (the x40 objectives gets too close to the specimen to let the top light in). An ideal starter microscope for the young scientist.

Binocular Brunel Dual Microscope
There are not many occasions that excite microscopists, but the introduction of this dual function microscope is one of those rare events. It has always been a truth that because of the laws of light physics you need two microscopes for both slide examination and low power whole object study. This microscope manages to bridge both functions in a very clever way. Its key components are a removable circular slide stage with an integral Abbe condenser. This can be removed easily and replaced with either a black/white dissection plate or a petri dish and the whole assembly can be moved up and down the rack and pinion dovetail to massively increases the working distance. This is to facilitate the working distance of the x2 objective which is approximately 100mm. The other objectives are x4, x10, x40 and x100 (oil immersion) that have normal short high power microscope working distances. In net effect with the standard circular stage in place this is a high power microscope with a magnification range of x40 to x1000 and suitable for slide examination. Alternatively with the circular stage removed, replaced with the petri dish and lowered, the x2 objective gives a x20 low power view suitable for whole objects that are illuminated by the flexible LED light from above. Both this light and the transmitted light have brightness control. Whilst this microscope almost ‘squares the circle’ in microscopy terms, and the x2 objective gives an image very similar to standard stereomicroscopes it is still inverted like all compound microscopes. It is therefore ideal for low power examination of whole objects but not dissection because of the inverted image.
