    I would recommend the apex practitioner

    It’s out of stock currently but you can normally pick up good deals on eBay. If your budget allows I would also recommend getting a mini grab camera, makes it much easier to connect the scope to a laptop.

    Kitsu has some decent ones on his site mate, which a few of my customers have. I’ve used them and they did the job without breaking the bank.

    Cheers

    I've just pre-ordered the Apex Practitioner. As Mike said they was out of stock, but I got an update email the other day saying they should be back in stock today, and my one will be delivered this Friday.

    For anyone else not sure what to look for, I put together a guide that covers the features you should be looking for to make life easy, and using a microscope less stressful. It's also posted on the forum somewhere too.

    We have both the Apex and the Brunel SP22 in stock.

    I think Apex and Brunel are the same company, as My Apex practitioner turned up in Brunel packaging this tuesday. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Yep!

    The Apex only has 3 objectives on the turret, the Brunel has 4. The 100x objective is seldom required for koi keepers.
