Stereomicroscopes

In very good condition for its age this is both a perfectly functional microscope as well as becoming something of a collector's 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.

The USSR made MBS-10 was extremely popular a few decades ago. Without doubt you got an awful amount for your money and they are built like tanks. This unit is in excellent condition and is all original which includes a wooden case.

It has two sets of eyepieces x8 and x14 that with the click stop drum arrangement gives a potential magnification range of x4.6 to x100.8. A separate measuring eyepiece is also included together with two spare bulbs for the lamp system. The lamp system can be used as incident lighting with the clamp mechanism or introduced into the back of the microscope base where a revolving mirror allows transmitted illumination. The lamp has a stand alone transformer with brightness control There are glass and black/white plates for the base. The base is relatively high and the side arm supports are ideal when making specimen manipulation.

All in all this is a substantial microscope in exceptional condition for its age and good value for money

This is a Gemscope based on the Apex Explorer stereomicroscope and is unused. Finished in black enamel to minimise reflections and with both incident and reflected halogen lighting which is brightness controlled. Magnification options are x20 and x40 that are selected by rotating the stereo head. Complete with a gem clamp and dark ground attachment. Rack and pinion focusing.

This trinocular zoom stereomicroscope was originally sold by our sister company Apex Microscopes. It has a continuous zoom magnification range of x10 to x40 and has extra wide field x10 eyepieces. This particular stereohead is mounted on stand that represents and upgrade from the standard unit. The good sized 'tear drop' shaped base has a pole stand for coarse height adjustment to suit the specimen being viewed. In addition, the focus black has is own coaxial coarse and fine focus system. This is unusual in the budget end of the market.
It has incident and transmitted lighting. The top light is a brightness-controlled halogen lamp and the bottom light is strip light with on/off options.
The trinocular port is equipped with a 3M Digicam with USB lead and software that will work with either Windows or Apple OS The software allows still image and video capture and direct measurement on images with annotation. A bargain.
