My latest acquisition--mystery microscope!

#1 Post by Scarodactyl » Wed Apr 01, 2020 9:01 pm

Hi everyone,
I recently got this scope in. I'm trying not to buy more but this one was really mysterious and I just couldn't resist for the price.
It has the same general build as a stereo but just one ocular (chinese sellers still call these stereos lol) so I'm expecting long working distance and low magnifications. Unfortunately I haven't had a look through it since it didn't come with an eyepiece and it looks like it takes a non-standard size. The branding is also unfamiliar, maybe a spinoff from Cooke? But it does fit a standard 76mm stereo mount so I am really not sure, it can't be too old.
It's hard to tell without an eyepiece but the image doesn't look great from what I can see.

Hard to argue with the price though--just $0.75 to upgrade!
