That looks like a very nice beast of an instrument!
What is the large, black, circular part on the lower right of your last image?

Thanks.
Yes, it's the magnification changer.

Magnificent microscope! Definitely a close cousin - or perhaps nemesis! - of my Olympus Vanox AH. The short-barrel apochromats from this era can be quite affordable and are definitely worth chasing down. My Vanox also came with simple plan achromats that I didn't like, but I have since tracked down...

Thank you BramHuntingNematodos.
Unfortunately the objectives I had are not Apo, only Plan

Nice colony of a rare organism

Some time ago I got a Nikon Apophot microscope.
After cleaning and adjustment, the microscope is ready for use.
The Apopphot is a magnificent, but little known, microscope.

Very nice!

What is your plan with these fine microscopes?

Hello.
Well, they are part of a series of microscopes that I have been buying over the years and that I do not use.

Thanks Javier

Thanks Javier

Thank you smollerthings and Francisco I think we have: Lecythium hyalinum and Diplophrys How do you tell the difference between Microgromia socialis and Lecythium hyalinum It is difficult to distinguish between the two. Microgromy tends to be more shaped like a "bottle with a neck" than Lecythium, ...

Magnificent photographs.
