$2.99 Goodwill B&L Microscope

#1 Post by charlie » Tue Jan 12, 2016 3:01 pm

A friend of mine picked up this B&L at Goodwill for $2.99!
It operates like a stereozoom but with a compound microscope range of magnification!
(I was disappointed to see they aren't worth much on Ebay though.)

These were student microscopes. A very good design; no objective changing, no parts to remove and little to come loose, unlike many other models.

I had one of these a while back.. They do work well within their limitations.... $2.99 was a steal!..
