Bresser Biolux Al Microscope Software Plus A Shoulder

Please note that the software was designed for older versions of Windows, but installed and ran perfectly on my Netbook under Windows 7.

Let me get straight to the important stuff The microscope has been used a few times, but is complete and in immaculate condition.

When I was looking for a Microscope for them, this one was not available in the UK.

I wanted them to have a proper Microscope, not one that felt like a toy.

Due to my kids interest in the subject, it was quickly replaced with a binocular microscope, and hence this one landed in the cupboard collecting dust.

Everything including the software is in English, except the short User Guide which is in German.

This Bresser brand product is a product of Meade Instruments GmbH Germany.

Being able to connect to a PC via a USB connection is the best part of this microscope.

I have also included additional slides to explore, so youre not short of something to look at when you get started.

THE ACER NETBOOK SHOWN IN THE PICTURES IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE AUCTION The Microsope is constructed.

It has proper, solid trays and measuring guides that are easy to use.

It includes a Mains Power Adaptor and a powerful LED lighting system with brightness adjustment and a 6-colour light filter.

Objects cab be top-lit as well as bottom-lit, so that you can look at standard slides as well as solid objects, such as stamps for example.

After having looked at so many toy microscopes with batteries, this was a great relief.

The set comes with a Barlow Lens, a 5X WF eyepiece and a 16X WF eyepiece, although these cannot be used with the PC Ocular (Microcular).

Everything comes in a handy black nylon case with a divider section that has loops to hold all the bits and bobs, plus a shoulder strap.

It can be very hard for young kids to look through a microscope properly, and even adults can find it a strain.

With the Microcular the microscope easily hooks up to a PC via a USB connection.

You can then view everything on screen, including being able to save what you see.

I took some snaps of the HOUSEFLY LEG at 4X, 10X and 40X, and added the pictures to the auction gallery.

I took the pictures at the maximum resolution of 640x480 24-bit (VGA).

This was done on my ACER Netbook under Microsoft Windows 7 and running the PhotoImpression software that comes with the set, after having installed the drivers and supporting software.
