This section is for anyone wishing to buy or sell microscopy-related items. Please email details of your sales or wants and feel free to include a picture, or pictures, of the item. You may, if you wish, also include phone or postal contact information. Adverts will be left for approximately 6 months, after which time they can be renewed by a further request. It would be useful if advertisers could advise me when adverts are no longer required and also if there is a change of e-mail address.


For sale, Bausch & Lomb antique microscope(223126) PAT JAN 5 1915. The microscope is in full working order and for its age is in a very good condition. On top of the pinion is stamped:-

PAT JAN 5 1915 223126 ONE INT 0.0025mm

Six eyepieces: X6, X7, X7(Olympus TOKYO, X10, X15.

Three Bausch & Lomb objectives: 10x (16mm) 0.25 DIVISIBLE - PAT OCT 13 1925, 43x (4mm) 0.65 - PAT OCT 13 1925, 97x (1.9mm) 1.25 OIL IMM - PAT OCT 13 1925.

The microscope comes in its original case (no key for lock) although the case has a couple of scratches from normal use and one cut on the top, which I mention for completeness of description only - it does not affect the use of the case.
This microscope would make a beautiful ornament or an excellent addition to a collection or it could be used as a fully-functioning piece of equipment.
