    Microscope

    Afternoon all,

    I'm looking at getting a microscope. So I have one ready in the future. Everyone recommends the Apex Practitioner but that seems out of stock.

    I came across this on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Microscope-...ct_top?ie=UTF8

    Seem pretty much the same, I'm in no rush to purchase a scope, but wondered what peoples thoughts are on this?

    Cheers
    Jay

    I was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of a kind gesture by a forum user, when he donated a Brunel microscope to me. It has been brilliant, highly recommended.

    Kitsu has some decent scopes - worth a look.

    i was in the same boat, no idea of what microscope to buy until i came across Alan Monk from microscope wizard while browsing the net, spoke to him in length and told him what i wanted and my budget, i ended up with a Meiji which has phase contrast and bright field, it's not brand new but i've always been a sucker for good solid built and i love it just my opinion.
