Stereomicroscopes

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 collector's item although still optically fine.

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.

This is a stereomicroscope that has been used only by ourselves for customer demonstrations and is in 'as new' condition. The trinocular stereohead has a zoom magnification range of x10 to x55 with x10 wide field eyepieces. It has a push/pull lever that allows a camera mounted on the trinocular tube to be brought into play.
What is very special about this unit is the microscope base. It has a rack and pinion focus system throughout its length.
Lighting is by LED for both transmitted and incident and can be used together or independently as required. With a brightness control. This is an excellent opportunity.

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.

It is very important to constantly review the standard of the microscopes that we offer for sale. For some time now we have been looking at our BST range which has always had excellent optical performance but at a significant price. We have therefore looked at a number of alternative options and this microscope in part is our solution but is a binocular version of the microscope described above
The optical performance is really excellent with a magnification range of x7 to x45 continuous zoom with x10 super wide field eyepieces.
The pole stand has built in incident and transmitted LED light sources that can be used together or independently. Both have brightness control. A fine microscope that has many of the features of our re launched BST range of stereomicroscopes

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

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.

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.

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.

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 and has bulit in incident and transmitted illumination both with brightness control. 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.
