Description
This vintage Bausch + Lomb compound microscope is a true trailblazer in optics. Its early 20th century design and monocular viewer make it a unique addition to any medical laboratory or collection. The microscope structure is upright and its intended use is in medical laboratory disciplines. The model number is 50381 and it was manufactured in the United States. This microscope is perfect for anyone interested in the history of medical laboratory equipment or for those who appreciate the uniqueness of vintage medical devices. It would also make a great gift for any microscope enthusiast or collector. This is a real piece of history, and it works, however it is missing the light reflecting mirror/lens that send light through the specimen and the optics to your eye. It is made of Brass, Steel and Glass, no plastic. I was going to clean it up some but felt it might actually ruin the look. It is missing the padding on the foot, and it has a little bit of a patina, but all the parts move, and it is just an awe-inspiring work of art. Dimensions:13 x 6 x 4.25
