Apex Practitioner Case

I bought Apex Practitioner Case to house my Apex Practitioner Microscope as the polystyrene box it was delivered in was starting to fall apart. What can I say? The case is great. The construction is solid and the inner compartment holds the microscope, extra eyepiece and one or two other accessories very snugly. There's even a shoulder strap. I would say that the photo is a bit mis-leading. The configuration of the foam cut-out has changed to accommodate the power lead and wall plug. Much better than the arrangent shown. A very good buy. 5 out of 5.

well do not buy, I will post video and you decide for yourselves, price so high for a waste of time, they left me a voice message saying you have to turn the whole head around, well there is space if cut better for you to not do that, and having to do that with a dear bit of kit can become scary, there was a mark on the top and I dear not lock it as right side seemed to lock and took me 5 mins of wiggling to get back open overall case case is solid that's why got 2 star.

We purchased the Apex practitioner microscope and the case back in 2014. My son locked it in the case and, being a teenager, lost the key. I contacted Brunel Microscopes (sister company of Apex Microscopes) on the off chance that they may have a spare key. Since then the design of the case had changed but a member of their team went out of their way to source the key. Fantastic customer service from a firm that owed us nothing two years after purchase. One very happy teenager and a very happy customer. In addition it’s an incredible microscope for the money (it’s of a quality that you’d happily pay double for – if you have a burgeoning scientist in the family it’s a terrific investment).

OK, this case is very well made, very robust and protects my Apex Microscope as a mother protects her baby. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is, it is slightly on the pricier side. But I will definitely recommend it to any Apex Microscope owners. It comes with built in locks it you want to lock the case during travel etc. So well done Apex. Keep up the good work.

Nice solid case without being too heavy since it's aluminium. Has the foams to hold the Apex microscope perfectly. I can also fit the box of slides and cover slips in there too. It is much quicker to get the microscope out of this case for use than using the cardboard box it came in like I was doing before.

As someone who had a microscope as a child I know how easy it is for key elements to not work. This one was a present for a son- and I'm impressed by the build quality and features. LED cool light that is adjustable, quality mechanics - feels like it won't break The main two optics seem fine- the largest magnification is a little disappointing but at just over £100 I think this is a fantastic buy

The picture featured for the microscope case has differences to the one I received:- The microscope I have has a mains lead attached and not having a mains socket as I surmise it might have had from the picture (black area at rear centre), therefore allowing the microscope to fit without a problem as the lead is now separate. The fixed lead now leads to a bulky problem to fit in the case. Whilst I agree the case fulfils its ability to accommodate the microscope it cannot do so with the lead without difficulties.

Very strong case, reason for marking down is that the protection inner is a little too protective. It is very tight to get the microscope in and out that I am worried about damaging the eyepiece
