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 Optimax Binocular zoom head has a magnification range of x7 to x45 with the x10 super wide field eyepieces. Excellent optical performance.
The base has both incident and transmitted lighting that is LED based which ensures virtually no heat gain for those delicate specimens. Both lights can be used independently or together and each has a brightness control. The top light is from a flexible goose arm which allows illumination from the best angle for the specimen.
The pole stand coarse focus allows both flat and specimens with height to be accommodated. Condition as new.

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.

The BSL stereomicroscope combines superb optics with an excellent build quality. The microscope has a large flat base that is ideal for fine dissection and the pole stand with independent rack and pinion focus block which adds significantly to the stability of the system which allows specimens of any size to be examined or manipulated. The base measures 305 x 254mm and the vertical pole 305mm.
The microscope head itself is trinocular with the binocular eyetubes at an angle of 45°. The eyepieces themselves are extremely wide field with an exit diameter of 22mm, with a high eye point making them suitable for spectacle wearers. Each has individual dioptric control. The optical body has a streamlined shape with the zoom magnification controls set towards the back of the unit on either side. The objective is a planachromat giving an excellent quality flat field of view.and a zoom ratio of 1:9 that gives a magnification range of x7 to x63 with a working distance of 110mm. The field of view range is 3.49 to 33.8mm depending on the magnification selected.
This unit has a LED ring light with brightness control for incident illumination. In pristine condition this is physically a substantial microscope. Recommended

Designed principally for education this is a stereomicroscope with a built in digital camera.
o New optical system offers high quality 1:4.4 zoom ratio (8x~35x magnification zoom range),providing highly resolution images.
o Integrated 5.0 mega-pixel 1/2.5 inch CMOS camera, with a resolution of 2592 x 1944.
o Film style photo button, images can be recorded and saved in real time on an SD card.
o HDMI ,AV, USB2.0 output interface. For different applications such as high-definition output, standard video and projection.
o Fixed eyepiece design.
The stand has integral incident and transmitted LED illumination.
If you want a no-nonsense stereo with a built in digital camera making it all straightforward - and with a remote control this is the one for you.

We are constantly assessing new models to see if we can improve our range of microscopes. This is a stereomicroscope head that particularly impressed us. It is offered here on our standard SD2 base which has incident and transmitted LED lighting, both with independent brightness controls, and a pole stand to accommodate specimen sizes of very different depths.
The key feature of this unit is the x1 Plan objective that produces excellent images with the 'click stop' magnification options. These are x0.55, x1, x1.75, x3 and x5.5. The eyepieces are x12.5, which gives over all magnification options of x6,9, x12.5, x22, x37.5 and x68.75. If optical quality is your main consideration, then this would be an ideal microscope.

Used only by ourselves this is effectively a new microscope with a full guarantee. The DT10 is a click stop stereomicroscope that can alternate between x10 and x20 magnification with the wide field x10 eyepieces. The optical quality is excellent and the price enables zoom stereomicroscope level images at a fraction of the price.

The stand has rack and pinion focusing throughout its length. A good sized base with clips and a central reversible black/white stage plate. Condition pristine

The BSR series stereomicroscopes combine superb optics with excellent build quality. The stereo heads incorporate a parallel optical path design that virtually eliminates eyestrain. The BSR is a modular stereomicroscope system that allows specifications to suit all applications. x1 Plan objective supplied as standard.

The standard stereohead has parallel optical paths with full interocular and dioptric adjustment. The continuous zoom control allows a magnification range of x6 to x50, that can be augmented with additional objectives and eyepieces.

The microscope pole stand allows the accommodation of a wide variety of specimen sizes. The pole stand is effectively the coarse focus and the rack and pinion focus block the fine focus. The base has incident and transmitted LED illumination that can be used independently and with individual brightness control. A fine microscope with excellent imaging because of the Plan objective.
