SOLD
Watson Stereomicroscope (2290a)
In very good condition for its age this is both a perfectly functional microscope as well as becoming something of a collectors piece. Complete with its original case with the Watson motif. It has three objectives mounted on a rotating turret which was the classic Watson design with x2.5, x5 and x10 magnifications. When used with the x10 eyepieces this gives options of x25, x50 and x100. It has a rack and pinion focus system with stage clips and a reversible black/white dissection plate. For those relatively high stereo magnifications it would need some external lighting of some sort. One of the classics and all original.
Price £162.50 + vat

SOLD
Brunel BMDZ Trinocular Stereomicroscope (3172)
As you might expect from time to time we have for a number of valid reasons, new microscope heads that need a base. This is a new BMDZ trinocular stereohead with a magnification zoom range of x7.5 to x45 that we have ‘married’ with the LED base that normally has the BMZ head. The only thing that gives this away is the relatively small difference in paint colour between the two. The base has LED incident and transmitted lighting each with a brightness control that can be used together or independently and a pole stand for variable height adjustment. Together the stand and stereohead make an excellent combination at a very good price.
SOLD
Brunel Optimax Trinocular Stereomicroscope (3173)
This microscope has been used by ourselves only for the occasional customer demonstration and is in excellent condition. The trinocular stereohead has continuous zoom magnification allowing an overall magnification range of x7 to x45 with the extra wide field x10 eyepieces. The trinocular is fitted with a CCTV adapter that will take most digital cameras. Most notable about this microscope is the stand. It has both incident and transmitted LED lighting. However the incident system is a goose neck which allows infinite variation in the angle that the light comes from. That apart, both incident and transmitted lighting are controlled independently with individual brightness control. This microscope is fully guaranteed and in excellent condition.

A fine microscope by any measure.
SOLD
Brunel BSR Binocular Stereomicroscope (3264)
This particular BSR is a click stop version. Usually zoom stereomicroscopes achieve their magnification change by physically lengthening and shortening the objective lenses (rather like a pirates telescope). The alternative to this is to have a series of different magnification objectives on a drum arrangement in the head (hence the name). Instead of the side controls producing a zoom, in this case they ‘click’ a different pair of objectives into the optical path. This means a series of fixed magnifications but the resolution is slightly better because of it. The stereohead has exceptional wide field x10 eyepieces with 5 pairs of objective lenses -

Brunel LBXZ Ring Light Trinocular (3235)
This is a new microscope used only by ourselves for model assessment. What is unique an=bout this model is the illumination system. The stereohead has an LED ring light built into it with a wheel thumb nut built into the front of it. There is also LED transmitted lighting with its own independent brightness control. The stand has rack and pinion focus throughout its length. The stereohead is trinocular with the light path being shared which makes it ideal for demonstration purposes as the microscope can be used at the same time as screen images are seen. The zoom magnification runs continuously from x7.5 to x50 and there are excellent wide field x10 eyepieces. A very nice microscope.
SOLD
Optimat Trinocular Stereomicroscope (3248)
