Budget

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.

The Brunel SP28 is an innovation. This microscope design is exclusive to Brunel Microscopes and is manufactured for us to our own design. The SP28 bridges a gap. In microscopy there is always a choice to be made between high power microscopes to look at transparent specimens on microscope slides and low power stereomicroscopes to look at whole objects that are not transparent. The flexible light arm means that top light can be applied with the low power objectives - up to x20 but no higher. The unit has x4, x10, x20 and x40 objectives giving a magnification range of x40 to x400. This unit has been used only by ourselves for customer demonstrations for a period of 3 months or so. Condition pristine and fully guaranteed.

Used only by our sister company (Apex Microscopes) for customer demonstrations this is in effect a new microscope. This is the most popular of the Apex microscopes in the amateur microscopy market with a pedigree that goes back at least a decade. LED illumination with brightness control, full mechanical stage with focusing sub stage condenser, coaxial coarse and fine focus control, slide safety stop. RMS achromatic objectives x4, x10, and x40 with wide field x10 and x29 eyepieces gives an overall magnification range of x40 to x800. Condition pristine - a good saving.

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. Trinocular 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.

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.

A solid binocular microscope made by the UK manufacturer Prior some years ago. A heavy stable base with the signature single coarse and fine focus control mechanism. The stage has slide clips and a full focusing substage condenser with lateral adjustment. New achromatic objectives x4, x10, x40 and x100 (oil immersion) with x10 wide field eyepieces giving a magnification range of x40 to x1000. 6v 15 watt tungsten illumination system with bright ness control.

A new microscope used only by ourselves for assessment purposes. This microscope has achromatic objectives x4, x10, and x40 which with the x10 eyepiece provides a magnification range of x40 to x400. Separate coarse and fine focus controls. Square stage with slide clips and disc light control. Tungsten lamp lighting. An ideal microscope for the beginner or young scientist. Condition as new.

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
