    Which Microscope to order

    Hi, I need a new microscope and have seen a few out there but would like some advice on which I should be looking for. Ideally want something with a mini grab so I can put it on the screen. Appreciate any advice! Thanks, Chris

    I use the Apex Practitioner with a mini grab, The Burnel SP 20 is the same model as far as I know.

    Hope this helps

    I bought a Brunel SP22. Same parent company as apex.

    I have some Astro cameras I can adapt for use - just need to get the focus setup. Just need a m42x0.7 thread to scope adaptor. GTVision soon do a eyepiece to cctv adaptor which may work. All depends on the back focus

    I bought one from Swift, really pleased so far, comes with digital camera so can get screen shots of yours scrapes. Swift were great to deal with too.

    Have bought the Apex practitioner too.Nice bit of kit.Comes with samples to use under the microscope.
    Had to buy slides and covers separately as they did not come with the microscope.Hope that helps.Steve.

    I can also recommend getting the aluminium flight case. I bought one for the SP22 and it's great as it keeps it all neat an tidy.. as well as bombproof

    I also have this.. so much easier than trying to get it in and out the box. It’s pricy but it keeps everything tidy, dust free and easily accessible
