BRUNEL MICROSCOPES LTD
Specialists in their Field
Honeybee Disease
The identification of honeybee disease such as Nosema is an essential part of apiculture, as is pollen identification. Brunel Microscopes offer a range of low budget stereomicroscopes and high power compound microscopes ideal for all applications.
DM-1 Low Power
The DM-1 is an economic alternative to the stereomicroscope, applying the same principles this monocular version produces an upright corrected image with clarity associated with much more expensive equipment. Ideal for bee dissection and fertilisation techniques. Price £46.81
MX-3 Stereomicroscope
An excellent stereo with inbuilt incident and transmitted illumination. Supplied as x20 the MX-3 can have its magnification range extended from x10 to x120. Price £131.91
BM1 & BMZ Long arm stereo
These are ideal instruments for Queen fertilisation and can accommodate inoculation frames, CCTV and photography. See stereomicroscopes on this web site
Pollen Identification
Pollen species can be identified with any reasonable quality compound microscope. Using glycerine jelly to which a small amount of basic fuchsin dye has been added as a mountant, gives ideal preparations.
