Used microscope suppliers in Europe

Have a problem finding shops that sell specific materials? Ask here. Are you looking for microscope parts? Do you have anything to offer for sale? Note: this is not a section for external companies to advertise their products.

Did an advanced ebay search with the word 'microscope' and location 'netherlands'

This is what I got. You could perhaps contact the sellers to see how many of them have a physical shop.

Hi Reza,

I have done no business with this company but Immel Optik in Germany is well regarded. They trade mainly in Zeiss Standard Equipment.

Euromex is in Arnhem. Their product line is primarily of Chinese origin and new but they might have a stock of second hand instruments.

BMS is a dealer in Capelle aan den IJssel and also might have a stock of trade ins.

Then there is this guy; http://www.microscopen-specialist.nl/

Thanks everybody for their help.

Does Olympus (or Nikon, Zeiss, Leica) itself sell their used microscopes?

Would be very surprised if they do. Their focus is on selling new microscopes to institutions.

What happened to the Olympus BHC? Was the seller not willing to bring the price down?

I am still thinking about getting that one (the price is around 400 Euro with shipping). However, I also thought for my first microscope I might spend less and after one-two year I upgrade substantially. First, I want to know if the interest persists.

There is an Olympus CH2 available in this forum that I am considering too.
Meanwhile, I am searching ebay to see if I find a good deal.
