This includes:

• An Inspex 2 video microscope for teaching and research.
• A ‘stackshot’ imaging suite for high quality publishable images.
• 30 compact Brunel microscopes for loan – to recorders, local records centres and remote workshops.
• 16 high quality Olympus teaching microscopes.
• 15 Scholar compound microscopes for workshops requiring higher levels of magnification.
• Field equipment for loan to recorders and to support educational activities.

The Entomology Library, one of the finest in the country, has also been upgraded with:

• Major new books for UK and European invertebrate identification.
• Multiple copies of identification guides for use in workshops or for loan.
• Subscriptions to six UK entomological recording journals.
