Well, thank you for all of your assistance. I have a pretty good idea now what I have, maybe not exactly but like everything else there are so many variants that there was no way to find them all, unless someone went to the dealer and said "I want that exact thing just like in the photo, no exceptio...

I don’t know… I just found the catalog for Medical Microscopes and it looks more like the BA-8 now. Page 5 Same price as the HA, but with the professional case added. Also included with this lot was a Clay Adams ScopeLite, the round back version. I still need to see if the condenser is 1.25. And his...

Okay, closest thing I can find is the H-series. This would be an HA, Catalog 31-21-54-08 (code word "Agobb") with the achromatic optics; that is, assuming my optics are original. The base looks slightly different, but "All Pictures shown are for illustration purpose only. Actual product may vary due...

Whew, that’s a lot of words. 1944 I get. Don’t use the oil, I get (we have fresh oil for the AmScope). Even planar I get. Bottom line, I was pretty sure this is a war-era scope and likely the type my grandmother may have used while studying at Syracuse University. But she was a nurse, so it likely w...

Hi all! Sorry I have not posted anything since we got the new microscope. Kristen hasn’t used it while I was around and she hasn’t asked me anything. So I haven’t had anything to bring up. But if it weren’t for her interest in biology, my wife never would have looked at this. https://photos.app.goo....

So an update on the microscope... it came in the mail over the weekend and I am very excited (but also slightly disappointed). Since this is an inexpensive Chinese microscope, the disappointment is well, typical. [*] The head fell off when taking it out of the box. I caught it in my knees thankfully...

Since she wasn't asking for a camera, I just wanted to get her one that was inexpensive, but a step above the 0.3MP that came with a similar-spec Omax. At worst, she can use it with her monocular scope (assuming I can get the turret screw to Loc-Tite into place). I was looking at the reduction lense...

Hello all, So my stepdaughter is getting a new AmScope T300B trinocular compound for Christmas, and I'm having trouble finding any information about it. The features on AmScope's site are what led me to believe that, for the price, this is perfect for someone like her, as she is a nature geek and wa...

Hello everyone! I am a test technician for a United States manufacturer of aerospace electronics. I currently use a Nikon SMZ900 at work, and my stepdaughter is getting a new AmScope T300B trinocular compound for schoolwork. I'm hoping to learn more about these both, which is why I've joined. I also...
