Brunel DM1 Low Power Microscope (3239)

This a fine example of the microscope that the RMS recommends for all primary schools. Young people need to see images that they recognise from what they see in real life. The DM1 magnifies x20 which does not seem enough but it makes a ladybird the size of a turtle! This will make sense to any young scientist below the age of lets say 10 years. So often well meaning relatives give a present of a microscope that magnifies up to x1000. This is like looking at the White Cliffs of Dover from 1 inch away. It makes no sense. Let them see what they know but in greater detail. They can see a bees sting and the stamens of a flower etc. This unit is in perfect condition.

Brunel SP58 Binocular Microscope (3296)

The SP58 is from the same stable as our SP60, with two differences the RMS screw thread objectives are achromatic and it has critical illumination rather than Kohler. In excellent condition this really is a ‘bargain’. 160mm tube length corrected objectives x4 (0.10), x10 (0.25), x40 (0.65) and oil immersion x100 (1.25) with wide field x10 eyepieces giving a magnification range of x40 to x1000. Good size mechanical stage with double vernier scales and coaxial drop down controls. Beneath the stage is a fully focusing Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm and filter carrier. The microscope stand has low position coaxial coarse and fine focus controls with tension adjustment and safety lock. The LED illumination system is controlled with and on/off switch and brightness control.

L201 Monocular Microscope (3309)

This would be the ideal microscope for the entry level junior scientist. Many parents/grandparents are not sure whether microscopes are really the ‘thing’ with youngsters these days. So why spend a lot of money when it might not be something that they embrace. The important thing is not to buy a ‘toy’ microscope to find out - as for sure the images they produce will not inspire anybody, but a well made but basic microscope is the way to answer this question.

If this is your situation then this is the microscope to find out. It is of metal construction with achromatic glass lenses which give excellent images. It has three objectives x4, x10, and x40 with two eyepieces x10 and x15. This gives a magnification range of x40 to x600. It has a circular stage with a focusing Abbe condenser. Illumination is from a mirror. Condition excellent.

Gillett and Sibert Binocular Microscope (3306)

This microscope also belongs in the ‘vintage’ section of this web site. Gillett and Sibert (G&S) were the last of the UK microscope manufacturers to stop trading. It is true that now there are effectively no microscopes made in the UK anymore. There are lots of microscope suppliers but they do not actually manufacture the microscope in the UK. The thing that is most note able about this microscope is that it has good old fashioned British engineering - it’s made like a tank! Such a solid stand and with good quality optics. This microscope probably dates from circa 1970 to 1980, but as they say you cannot wear out a microscope by looking through it! So the details:

The stage obviously shows the effect over time of putting slides on and off, but it works as if new. The objectives are x4 (0.10), x6.3 Flat (plan) (0.16), x10 (0.28), x40 (0.70) and x100 oil immersion (1.30). All good N.A. As you would expect.. X10 wide field eyepieces. Rheostat controlled halogen illumination. Focusing Abbe condenser. A fine piece of British microscope history.

Brunel SP13A Monocular (3354)

Supplied by ourselves a few years ago, this is an ideal introduction to microscopy for the budding young scientist who wants a proper microscope and not a toy. Originally the unit had mirror illumination but we have replaced this with an LED lighting unit which significantly improves its optical performance.

Four achromatic objectives x4, x10, x40 and x100 (oil immersion) with the x10 wide field eyepiece gives and overall magnification range of x40 to x1000. The square stage has a specimen driver foe easy slide manipulation and there is a substage focusing Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm. Focus is by separate coarse and fine controls.

The microscope body which is cast alloy is hinged to allow the optimum position for easy viewing. Condition good for its age. A bargain for the beginner.

Brunel MX2 Stereomicroscope (3355)

Supplied by ourselves a few years ago, this is an ideal introduction to microscopy for the budding young scientist who wants a proper microscope and not a toy. It is a fact that young microscopists are far more interested in the finer detail of whole objects rather that thin slices through whole objects that have been stained to show cellular structure.

This is such a microscope designed to look at whole objects - flowers to fingers! Cellular structure and high power microscopes come later after their attention has been captured by seeing how many hairs are on a bees knee!

This microscope has a double magnification of x20 and x40 with inbuilt incident lighting and is designed for looking at anything as a whole object no need for microscope slides. Condition excellent
