Very cool! I didn't have that one, thanks. Wouldn't you just love to play around with some of those big scopes?

Thank you for sharing, 75RR.

This catalog drives me nuts, when it clearly says the fine focus travel range (2mm) of all student scopes, but omits that info for all research scopes :evil:

Why do I get the feeling that your collection is just getting started? ;)

Afraid not. Was wondering that myself.
...clearly says the fine focus travel range (2mm) ...
Curiously ... or then again perhaps not, the Photomicroscope, Ultraphot, Universal and WL stands also have 2mm fine focus travel and 2µm graduations.

Soviet era for sure, probably the early to mid. 80's based on the design and the fact that one of the instruments is a kind of 70's PZO/Jena knockoff. . PZO didn't make that one , some time into the 1980's.

I'll bet there are still quite a few of those bigger instruments around in places like Iran, Cuba, Vietnam, Pakistan,South Africa,Saudi Arabia, Argentina.

Great catalogue to find . Thanks for showing it.
