AO 575 barlow lens

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.

AO 575 barlow lens

#1 Post by jameswillis » Mon Nov 25, 2019 12:18 am

Need to extend the working distance on my AO 570 stereo microscope and the metric barlow lenses will not work with the AO threads. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have an original AO 0.5x lens I am willing to part with. Make me an offer.

I would be willing to pay $50 for the lens if in good condition

Sounds great. It needs a bit of cleaning, but I'll get it spiffed up and send some pictures via pm.

Hello. I think I sent a PM with pictures. I will double check and resend if it didn't go through.

edit: whoops, looks like you can't receive them yet. I'll post the pictures here (click for full size):

Condition is good but not completely flawless, there are a few marks likely from previous cleaning. That said, I don't think it is anything that would have any effect on performance. If it looks good we can figure out how to get in touch to exchange paypal information.

Looks Good. Lets complete the transaction. I can send you funds via pay pal, or we can go through E-bay if you wish.

Thanks

Sorry for the slow reply. I think eBay will end up being easiest since you don't have PMs yet. I listed it here, just make an offer of 50 and I will accept it
