I am in Michigan and don’t know Brunel.

Do you have a slot in your condenser so you can put in a dark field stop.

If you have a slot you should be good to go.

Peter,

What eyepieces and objectives came with your scope?

I asked for a 60 objective instead of the oil immersion. 10 x focal. It came with 10,20,40 and 60.

Hi Peter, I'm confident it will be possible.
Looking at the condenser on their site it looks like there is a slot for fitting various filters.
That would be where the dark field stop should work best.
Easier to make a stop that works well for the lower power objectives.
Plenty information on YouTube on DIY.
Good luck.
