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 BMZ range is one of our main stereomicroscope stalwarts simply because it combines optical quality with a robust construction. This particular unit is a hybrid, with the BMZ stereohead and the SD2 dual illumination base from the BMDZ series just because we have one of each spare as it were. They work together perfectly but there is a difference in the paint finishes hence the almost 'silly price', The BMZ stereohead has a zoom magnification range of x6.7 to x45 with super wide field x10 eyepieces.
The SD2 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 pole stand coarse focus allows both flat and specimens with height to be accommodated. Condition excellent.

This is a stereomicroscope that we have put together to combine optical quality with a notable build quality. There are two parts to all stereomicroscopes. The head and the stand.
The head is binocular with a zoom magnification of x7 to x45 with x10 wide field eyepieces. However there are also x20 eyepieces which will double the magnification range to x14 to x90.
The stand has both incident and transmitted LED lighting. This means that there is virtually no heat gain for those delicate specimens. Both the lights can be used together or independently with brightness controls. This is a very good microscope with excellent optical performance.

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.
The optical performance is really excellent with a magnification range of x7 to x45 continuous zoom there is also a x0.5 supplementary objective which will double the working distance but of course reduce the zoom range accordingly. The trinocular tube has an SLR adapter with fitting for a Canon EOS camera back.
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

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.

The BMSF series of stereomicroscopes allows the opportunity for the convenience of a trinocular tube for photography without having to pay for the full zoom facility.
The BMSF stereohead has x2/x4 objectives which gives the magnification options of x20 and x40. The widefield x10 eyepieces gives excellent resolution. This microscope has a magnification range that can be extended with auxiliary objective lenses (that screw into the bottom of the objective turret) and x15 or x20 additional eyepieces. The BMSF is trinocular - which is unusual for a non-zoom stereohead, and the light path is controlled by a push/pull lever.
The stand has inbuilt incident and transmitted LED lighting that can be used together or independently both with brightness control. Good value.

We are particularly impressed by this version. It is trinocular which will allow SLR and digital streaming cameras to be attached via the appropriate adapters. The excellent optics give a continuous zoom magnification of x6.7 to x50 with super wide field x10 eyepieces that are suitable for spectacle wearers.
The pole stand has inbuilt incident and transmitted LED lighting that can be used together or independently both with brightness control. All together a fine stereomicroscope.

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 only reason why this microscope appears in our 'used list' is because the stereohead and microscope stand are finished in two different paint colours. It's a long story!

So, the microscope head has a continuous zoom magnification range of x6.7 to x45 with an excellent optical performance with super wide field x10 eyepieces. Adapters are available to fit SLR and digital streaming cameras to the trinocular tube through the appropriate adapters.

The pole stand coarse focus has a fine focus thorough the focus block rack and pinion. It has both incident and transmitted LED lighting that can be used together or independently each with its own brightness control. A fine microscope.

The BST stereomicroscope provides unrivalled optical performance in its price range. The infinity parallel optical system provides excellent quality upright 3D images from all types of specimens.

The stereomicroscope head is equipped with a photomicrography side port and an iris diaphragm with a pull lever to deflect light to the camera system when needed. The unit is supplied with one of our 5M Digicam digital cameras with all the software and cables needed.

The BST has a substantial support stand with a thin base which is made possible by the ultra thin LED illumination system. The base has both incident and transmitted LED lighting that is rheostat controlled and can be used independently or together as needed, and the angle of the incident unit can be varied to suit the subject matter.

The support column is 340mm in length and has a rack and pinion focus system throughout and has both coarse and fine movement controls. The stereohead can be fixed in two positions on the support column using an allen key adjustment to suit both small and larger specimens. In each position the focusing range is 105mm and the working distance in either position is 78mm with the x1 objective. A superb microscope

The IMXZ stereomicroscope was for any years our 'go-to' entry level zoom stereomicroscope and it never let us down. This is a new microscope used only by ourselves for demonstrations. The trinocular stereohead has a continuous zoom magnification range of x10 to x40 with a push/pull lever to bring the camera trinocular tube into play as required. The trinocular tube will accommodate digital SLR cameras and digital streaming and HDMI cameras via the appropriate adapters.

The substantial pole stand has both incident and transmitted LED lighting that can be controlled either separately or together and each has brightness control. Exceptional value for money an ideal for those wanting to move up from fixed magnification stereos to full zoom.

This is a new microscope and fully guaranteed. Excellent value for those on a restricted budget who are looking for the benefit of zoom stereomicroscopy. The binocular head has extra wide field eyepieces with eyecups and a continuous zoom magnification range of x7 to x45. The plain stand without inbuilt illumination is rack and pinion throughout its length with a very stable rectangular base with clips and a dissection plate.
