Thanks!

You say it looks like a washed-out specimen, I think the photograph made it look paler than it actually is. It’s a nice warm, chestnut brown.

Mark Wilson contacted me on iSpot saying that he thinks it might be the gall midge Dasyneura pteridis, but he’s forgotten his UK Fungi login, so I have posted it for him. Thanks Mark!

Ok, that’s fine. I’ll see if I have time to get any more photos soon. Thanks for looking though!

I was thinking of Hairy Curtain Crust, but if it’s not that then never mind.

No, sorry, these were the only two photos I have. What are the possibilities?

Thanks very much!

We spoke to Brunel directly and it is a trinocular which is brand new and hasn’t been put on the website yet. We have a Nikon SLR but I’m still considering whether to use that or the digicam. I think I’m going to follow your advice and get used to the microscope before moving on to photography.

Thanks again everyone!

Brunel has offered us a trinocular SP40 at a good price and we think it has all of the specifications needed.

Also, which would you say is better, a DigiCam or an SLR connector? The DigiCam costs more so we are wondering whether it is worth buying that instead of an SLR connector.

Sorry, no, the hot weather has shrivelled it. What are the possibilities?

They, (Biovital), are also selling the same SP45 Trinocular, (at the same £299.00 price), via Amazon.co.uk: –

No-brainer (as they say)

anyone looking for an extremely well-specced entry-level scope should snap one of these up; that’s my honest opinion anyway . . . .

Chris

But does it include oil immersion?

Now we’re are thinking about this one: ~~http://www.digital-microscopes.co.uk/sp35digital.html” class=”bbcode_url”>~~http://www.digital-microscopes.co.uk/sp35digital.html

Just saw that the Apex Researcher is now out of stock until the new year. I am thinking of giving up now… that one was perfect. Thanks for everyone’s help though.

We are also not big fans of eBay, and will prefer to buy them from a specialist website.

Still no microscope yet!

Partly because I want to wait and see if anything else pops up on this forum, just in case and partly because my birthday is in mid-August, so hopefully we’ll correspond the purchase with that!

That’s the same as I do, in my lists I put the English name first and then the scientific name.

Not what I would expect them to look like at all! How do you get rid of the air bubbles?
