Got myself a new scope!

Post by Cyclops »

Well secondhand anyway. To cut a long story short I spotted it in Cash Converters for £60 and I put a deposit on it. Today I collected it. It's an Apex Practicioner with built in LED, finally a proper scope. It needed some work, the stage was slanted and the condenser was misaligned. We sorted it between us.

I swapped out some of the optics and it came with a 100x oil immersion which I won't be using.
