The ArthroSphere is steel ball with an integral foam pad which articulates onto a hardwood hemisphere and is kept in place by a magnet.

It allows smooth multi-angle rotation to facilitate easy and precise positioning of entomological specimens under a microscope.

Basic instructions are available here.

The total height of the ArthroSphere is approximately 45mm so please check this will fit beneath your microscope and allow enough working distance (ie 45mm + 38mm pin mounted specimen requires a minimum 90mm plus working distance). A low profile version of the ArthroSphere is coming soon.

The ArthroSphere comes with a set of replacement foam inserts, a tubular cutter to allow fabrication of new foam inserts from scrap plastazote and the price includes UK P&P.

The price is £25.00 each (incl UK P&P)
