Leitz Freezing Microtome
This is not really for the amateur but for those with some experience of microtomy. The microtome was used to cut frozen sections of fixed material by using the sudden expansion of compressed carbon dioxide gas from a cylinder. The connection pipe and freezing stage are present but should only be attached to a cylinder of gas by those who are experienced with the procedure. It currently has a stage that will take paraffin blocks attached to a wooden chuck which can also be sectioned by this microtome. Sectioning knife included. The microtome is clearly well used but is fully functional.

Brunel Digicam C2CMOS 3M Camera
Used only by ourselves for customer demonstrations. The Brunel Digicam Cameras are stand alone streaming cameras that provide a continuous live image to a laptop or PC. The Digicam units work with Windows (including 11). Unlike the Eyecam, these cameras need a cctv adapter to link the camera to standard microscope eyetubes and the cctv adapter can be inserted into the monocular eyetube (23.2mm), or one of the binocular or into the trinocular tube of almost all microscopes. USB 2.0 Aptina CMOS sensor. Sold with CCTV adapter, USB lead and software -

Ray Lamb Hot Plate (3243)
This is a good sized hotplate measuring 16 x 12 inches surface area. The top has six metal bars that can be moved across the surface of the plate to accommodate the width of microscope slides. The temperature can be control between 25 to 75 degrees. It is ideal for the production of glycerine jelly mounted slides to keep the slides and coverslips suitably warm. In addition it will also maintain temperatures to keep paraffin wax molten. Condition excellent.

Slide Staining Rack (3268)
Staining material on a microscope slide in a home environment is one of the more vexed problems for the microscopist. This is the answer. The two parallel bars are the right distance apart to support microscope slides and the Teflon screws allow the distance between the feet to be adjusted to suit a sink or a bowl of any size. A good sturdy system well overdue.

Brunel Dual LED Lights (3231)
This is quite simply one of our best new products in recent years. It is not a fibre optic unit but two very effective LED light units mounted on goose neck flexible arms. The light output is outstanding and would match a 150 watt fibre optic unit at full capacity for a fraction of the price.
Finished in black enamel the metal alloy base is very stable and has an on/off switch with full rheostat control. The flexible arms have good rigidity and maintain position well.
As with all LED units the heat gain is minimal and therefore ideal for heat sensitive specimens such as insects. This unit has only been used by ourselves for customer demonstrations.
