what are T2 mounts used for?

It's highly unlikely that you will ever use it for a lens, but a slide copier might be a possibility.

Isn't it possible to use one on a binocular microscope? I have been thinking about trying to find a T2 to see if it would work with the DS and my micrscope i acquired a while ago.

The Russian Peleng 8mm fisheye and MTO 1000mm lenses use T2 mounts.It's highly unlikely that you will ever use it for a lens.
They're both really good performers for what they cost

Indeed, and there will be others too.
Valid point, although I think "highly unlikely" is probably fair as well!

Thanks for that (8mm and 1000mm). Any other lenses come to mind? I suppose I won't bin it, in any event.

Isn't a T2 mount used to connect to a reflecting telescope? I have a 9" reflector and keep meaning to get round to seeing if I can connect an SLR to it.

I think you need an eyepiece adapter for that. Alternatively you can project the image into the camera lens, but that sounds as if it might be tricky to get right.
