We have a small quantity of these extremely well built Vickers microscopes. All original and therefore also collectors pieces. Large stable illumination base with 6v 15watt lighting. Stage with slide clips and usual substage condenser with iris. Coaxial coarse and fine focus controls. Objectives x5, x10 and x40 with x10 eyepiece. Very good value for a vintage British made microscope.

A fine example of this classic Watson monocular microscope. This is an all original microscope making it a collectors piece as well as a good optical instrument. Objectives x4. X10 and x40 with x10 eyepiece. Rheostat controlled halogen illumination. Focusing condenser with iris. Stage clips

This is a new monocular low power microscope ideal for the student or as a quality instrument for beginners. The microscope gives a x20 overall magnification which is ideal for most natural history applications - plants, insects, flowers,coins, stamps etc.. Pole stand coarse focus with a fine focus rack and pinion mechanism. A bargain.

Used only by ourselves for customer demonstrations.. This is the SP60 Mk1 model which has now gone through some style changes to the current model. Biinocular head with x10 wide field eyepieces. Achromatic objectives x4, x10, x40 and x100 (oil immersion). Mechanical stage with double vernier scales and drop-down X Y controls. Coaxial coarse and fine focus controls with safety lock and tension adjustment. Kohler LED lighting with brightness control. A good microscope and this unit is pristine. Excellent value.

Used only by ourselves for customer demonstration, this is one of most popular instruments. Binocular head with interpupillary and dioptric adjustment and x10 wide field eyepieces. Achromatic objectives x4, x10, x40 and x100 (oil immersion), giving a magnification range of x40 to x1000. Full mechanical stage with drop down movement controls and a substage condenser with iris diaphragm. Quartz halogen illumination with rheostat-controlled brightness. In excellent condition and fully guaranteed.

This is a new microscope that was originally part of our comparison microscope system but is now offered as an extremely good value trinocular microscope. It has achromatic objectives x4, x10, x40 and x100 oil immersion with x10 wide field eyepieces giving the overall magnification range of x40 to x1000. Full mechanical stage with drop down coaxial controls, and focusing substage condenser with iris diaphragm. Coaxial coarse and fine focus controls. Quartz halogen illumination system with brightness control. A very good price.

Aimed at the educational and schools market this is a very robustly built microscope from Holland. There are several minor chips to the body paint work which in no way detracts from its performance. An ideal starter budget instrument - made to last. Objectives x4, x10 and x40 with a turret space for a x100 (can be supplied). Separate coarse and fine focus controls. Fixed Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm. Good sized stage with slide clips. Tungsten illumination.

The one thing that you can guarantee with Zeiss Jena is the combination of the quality of Zeiss with the affordability of the 'then' East German financial structure. This microscope is in excellent condition with some impressive optical components. Objectives x100 Hi with iris diaphragm (1.25), x40 (0.65) and x10 (0.25) with P x10 wide field eyepieces that are suitable for spectacle wearers. Kohler illumination with brightness control, quartz halogen lamp. Coaxial coarse and fine focus control. Stage slide clips. Trinocular head with a CCTV adapter. Excellent value.

This digital stereomicroscope has failed our own QC tests because there is a tiny area of dirt on the chip of the inbuilt digital camera. This can be seen if you look carefully on the computer image when the camera is being used. This can't be cleaned (don't try!). We are therefore offering this new microscope for the same price as its non digital sister microscope the SX10. So in effect the digital camera is free even though it works perfectly with the USB cable and software provided. It has a good sized stable base with built in incident and transmitted LED lighting with brightness control that can be used together or independently. The turret contains x1, x2 and x4 objective pairs that with the excellent super wide field eyepieces gives magnification options of x10, x20 and x40. The magnification changes are made by rotating the turret from click stop to click stop.

Originally supplied by ourselves this is the SP60 Mk1 model which has now gone through some style changes to the current model. Binocular head with x10 wide field eyepieces. Achromatic objectives x4, x10, x40 and x100 (oil immersion). Mechanical stage with double vernier scales and drop-down X Y controls. Coaxial coarse and fine focus controls with safety lock and tension adjustment. Quartz halogen lighting with brightness control. A good microscope and this unit is in excellent condition.

Imported from the USA, this is a good quality fibre optic light source with a continuous ring light. The ring light can attach to a stereomicroscope head up to 60mm in diameter via three clamping screws. Fan cooling with brightness control. Condition very good and supplied complete with a voltage adjustment unit (110 to 240v adjustment).

A good example of the 'co-operation' between Swift and Watson as the British microscopy industry slowly lost out to Japanese made microscopes. Finished in black enamel making it Swift livery rather than Watson, this is a good substantial microscope built in the UK to last - and it has! Square mechanical stage with focusing substage condenser with iris diaphragm and filter carrier. Tungsten illumination with brightness control. Watson achromatic objectives x4, x10, x40 and x100 (oil immersion). Swift x10 wide field eyepiece

This stand will hold all of the Dino-Lite handheld microscopes. Superbly designed it has both a quick release function as well as a very precise fine focus adjustment. If you have ever used a hand held microscope you will know that hands will shake no matter what you do. The RK-10A deals with this with smooth elegance. The unit is made of resilient stainless steel and light weigh aluminium. Used only by ourselves for a brief period - list price £230.22 + vat

A genuine fibre optic system with a powerful 10 watt LED light unit delivering dual spot lights via two flexible (N.B. not goose neck) fibre optic arms each measures 400mm in length. The unit is shown here attached to its circular stable base that provides excellent stability as a stand-alone unit. However, the unit could be removed from its base and used in alternative ways and circumstances. The unit has an excellent fan cooling system and a rheostat brightness control.
