Perry Stereomicroscope
Another of the classic British stereos with a very characteristic shape and paint finish. This model has standard 23mm eyetubes with original wide field eyepieces. The characteristic rotating turret has a x1.4 and x4 objective set giving overall magnification options of x14 and x40. The microscope has inbuilt tungsten transmitted lighting (but no incident light unit). This is now probably a collectors item although still optically fine.

Wild M8 Zoom Stereomicroscope
Wild stereomicroscopes quite rightly have an excellent reputation for optical quality and mechanical performance. This is an excellent example with just a few small paint chips to the base as would be expected. There is a photoport for connecting a camera which can be easily removed and repositioned when needed. The magnification range is x6 to x50 with a x1 plan objective which gives an impressive image quality and the unit has an iris diaphragm. The photoport allows either the full image to the camera or to the eyetubes. x10 wide field eyepieces. Pole stand for coarse focus with a rack and pinion for fine focus. The unit has both transmitted and incident illumination, with two focused lamps on flexible arms to allow light at the required angle. A fine microscope.

Olympus SZ30 Stereomicroscope
The Olympus SZ30 microscope is a zoom stereo microscope that has been refurbished and is still in excellent working condition. The Olympus SZ30 features a good zoom range of 0.9x to 4x that provides crisp images, giving the user the ability to view the specimen at 9x to 40x magnification. This optical instrument has a large working distance.
Ideal for use in industrial, biology, and geology microscopy applications, the reconditioned SZ30 from Olympus is extremely easy to use. The microscope has a binocular head and a plain stand with pole coarse and rack and pinion fine adjustment.
The stand has been well used over the years and there is some corrosion to the underneath of the base but this in no way effects its optical performance. A bargain price for a quality microscope.

Leica MZ6 Long Arm Stereomicroscope
This is a modern Leica zoom stereomicroscope on a substantial long arm system. It is all original and in good condition throughout. x10 super wide field eyepieces with independent focus control. The magnification zoom range is from x6.3 to x40 via two side arm controls. The head is binocular and in good condition. The stand is substantial in size but not overly heavy because the central pole is hollow. The interlocking of the two parallel arms is excellent and gives the unit great stability.

Wild M5A Stereomicroscope
Wild stereomicroscopes are known internationally for their Swiss made quality and precision in both mechanics and optical quality. The M5 was made from 1959 until 1989 when Wild merged with Leitz and the brand name Leica emerged. This example is the M5A and dates from the much later part of that period as can be seen from the livery finish. Like almost all of the Wild stereomicroscopes it is not a zoom but features four discrete magnifications of x6, x12, x25 and x50 with each magnification being double the power of the previous. This means that when the knurled magnification changer is rotated then separate pairs of objective lenses are rotated into the optical path and no matter how good a zoom mechanism is the Wild M5A structure does produce some excellent quality images. The left and right optical paths had a greater separation than other scopes which Wild claimed would produce an enhanced stereo effect. Whether or not this is true takes nothing from the fact that Wild stereomicroscopes set the standard for others to follow. The stand is a simple pole stand without illumination. Not many of these in good working order are about these days.

Brunel BSR Stereomicroscope
Originally supplied by ourselves this stereomicroscope is in pristine condition and is one of our best quality instruments that we have supplied over the years. This unit is no more than 2 years old for sad reasons that link to its previous owner. It is a binocular version with a continuous zoom magnification range of x6 to x50. What is notable about this unit is that it is equipped with a plan x1 objective that provides an excellent image. The BSR is a main objective stereo so that the full effect of this is evident in the final image. The stand is a dual LED light system with both incident and transmitted lighting both with rheostat brightness control that can be used together or independently. Condition as new.

Brunel BSR Stereomicroscope
Used only by ourselves for customer demonstrations, this is effectively a new microscope and is fully guaranteed. This version of the BSR is a click stop magnification variation rather than the objectives lens being stretched for the continuous zoom effect. This does provide better resolution. The magnification options are x5.5, x10, x17.5, x30 and x55. The main objective lens is a plan x1. Eyepieces x10 wide field. An excellent optical performance. The stand has incident and transmitted lighting. The incident is rheostat controlled halogen and the transmitted is an on/off strip light that gives a good even field illumination.

Brunel BSM Binocular Stereomicroscope
This is a new microscope being assessed by ourselves and we are very impressed with its optical quality. It gives a continuous zoom magnification from x8 to x56 but has click stop indexing so that you are aware of the magnification changes without the need to look at the controls. The BSM is a common main objective (CMO) system and the objective is a plan x1 which is excellently matched by plan x10 wide field eyepieces each with independent focusing. The stand is a non illuminated plain stand with a coarse focus pole stand and fine focus rack and pinion. This is a fine microscope.
SOLD
Brunel Trinocular Stereomicroscope
This trinocular stereomicroscope consists of an IMXZ trinocular stereohead and a halogen dual light base from our BMZ range. Its a hybrid that works very well and is offered at a very reasonable price for a trinocular zoom stereo. The magnification range is x10 to x40 with a continuous zoom and there are x10 wide field eyepieces. The large base has with a pole stand coarse focus and a rack and pinion fine focus. The incident lighting is from a halogen lamp with brightness control and the transmitted light is from a fluorescent strip light with an on/off switch. Both light sources are controlled independently and can be used together or separately. A bargain.

Brunel BST Trinocular Stereomicroscope
This microscope was used only by ourselves for customer demonstrations and represents exceptional value. The BST Stereomicroscope provides unrivalled optical performance in its price range. The infinity parallel optical system provides excellent quality upright 3D images from all types of specimens. The BST has standard features usually associated with major brand names of far greater cost. Most notable is the ergonomic head that has eyetubes that will tilt between 0 and 35 degrees to suit the height of the seated operator as well as the usual interpupillary and dioptric eyetube adjustments. The eyepieces are x10 wide field. The zoom provides a magnification range of x8 to x80 with the extra wide field x10 eyepieces and has a x1 plan achromatic objective. that are supplied as standard. The stereomicroscope head is also equipped with a photomicrography side port and an iris diaphragm with a pull lever to deflect light to the camera system when needed. The BST has a substantial support stand with a good size base that is also very thin which is made possible by the ultra thin LED illumination system. The base has both incident and transmitted LED lighting that is rheostat controlled and can be used independently or together as needed, and the angle of the incident unit can be varied to suit the subject matter. The support column is 340mm in length and has a rack and pinion focus system throughout its length. Fully guaranteed.

Brunel BM1 Long Arm Stereomicroscope
This long arm stereomicroscope was originally supplied by ourselves and has come back to us because of unfortunate circumstances after a relatively short time. It condition is excellent. It has x10 wide field eyepieces with x1 and x2 objective pairs meaning that it offers two magnification options of x10 and x20. The relatively heavy base acts as a counter balance for the microscope head which is held by the horizontal arm between the observer and the bench. This unit has a flexible arm LED unit which allows cold light to be angled as best appropriate for the specimen. Excellent value.
