It’s all witchcraft to me

#1 Post by Onamatappear » Mon Feb 12, 2018 1:02 pm

Hello Everyone,

Please forgive my ignorance on this subject but I have just recently inherited a collection of items.
I have done some research but it feels like I’m learning a whole new language and have become quite baffled which is why I’m reaching out.
I have taken lots of pictures of all items and was wondering what they are, what they do, which items go with which, which items are missing bits.
I’m now at a loss do any help would be appreciated .
Thanks in advance.

Hey, I can empathize - just learning the language myself - but it is very exciting. would love to see photos of all your bits and pieces. I am thinking there are a lot of people on this site that would love to help put you on the path to better understanding. :)

There is no cosistant numbering so I will assume them fall in order.

#3-9: is a Reichert photo adapter
#17: which are the two large round objects are Zeiss lamphouses used for HBO or high pressure mercury lights.
#18-19 is a 6V Zeiss lamp which can be used for Zeiss Standard microscopes
#20&22: Zeiss Standard microscope, probably model 14 or 15
#21,23,24: Zeiss Ultraphot
#25-33: Zeiss Inverted microscope with various attachments for camera or lighting
#35-37: Zeiss power and photo regulator and it's cords.
The last three is a Zeiss Photomicroscope I.
All of the microscopes are incomplete with missing viewing heads, objectives, stages, condensers etc.

Are these items worthy of the bin or usable?

They are all probably usable, depending on how much time/money you want to spend fixing them up and finding replacement parts. The most complete one is the Zeiss 405 IM, the inverted microscope. You just need some objectives and a 12V power supply for the 12V lamp. You might be able to use the power/photo regulator for the Photomicroscope I. You can sell them for parts if you don't want to keep them. A lot of the photo accessories are used for film cameras and are not usually desired since most are going to DSLR.

Hi Everyone.
Domestic relations are being jeopardised having all that stuff so I need some justification for not throwing it in the bin or taking to a charity shop.
I am hoping I can provide a set up of some description for the kids to encourage an interest and generate some funds with the rest.
I have re-numbered all the images and was hoping someone could take pity and illuminate me on what these items are, what they are, what they do, complete or incomplete?

Any help is much appreciated
Best
