ALS have many years experience dissecting macro and microlepidoptera,
specimen preparation and general microscopy. Jon Clifton has taught
microscopy at various universities and museums such as the Liverpool
World Museum, York University and the Glasgow Resources Centre. Through
this experience we can offer a wide range of professionally built
microscopes that we know and work with on a daily basis therefore knowing
exactly our customers requirements. We aim not to confuse the market
by offering too many models but offer only the ones we feel appropriate
for the desired job in mind.
The range we offer start with the cheaper AJ00 and AJ01 which have no illumination but are ideal as
a starting point. The popular AJ02 Field Microscope to the mid range model and
the best selling microscope due to its all round versatility is
the AJ05, one we would recommend any time. The one we have in use has been
working on a daily basis for nearly 12 years dissecting macro and
microlepidoptera and still out performs similar models. A superb wide
field of view and deep depth of field!
The dual illuminated zoom AJ06 gives superb all round quality
enabling a x5 wide field of view focusing to x55, fast becoming
the microscope for any serious student. The quality of 'what
you see' is outstanding. Ideal for all round microscopy from botany to
micology and for insects to minerals!
Both the AJ07 and AJ08 come with x40/x100 high powered compound
objective lenses giving excellent quality. These are viewing microscopes
and not dissecting microscopes. Specifically made to our design they
are ideal for photography and viewing minute microscopic
ornamentation such as the tiniest of microlepidoptera genitalia.
