Hello, I'm from Brazil, and I would like some help. I have this nikon, and I wanted to know if it is petrographic, or polarizing, or darkfield. I use only as biological, for differential counting in hematology and urinary cell count. I would like to sell it, and I don't know how much it is worth. It also has a piece, I think it's the intermediate tube, but I don't know what it's for. I have an ultra darkfield capacitor, and a 450 nm wave plate, I also have no idea what it's for...Sorry for the inconvenience, here in Brazil I tried, but I didn't find anyone with interest or experience to help me. thank you all. O appreciate everyone's attention, I love reading all the posts.

I bought two of them used in about 2015 for around 150 US dollars each.
That was seven years ago and they went up in price plus you also have some extra parts. The scope cosmetically doesn't look in near mint or whatever shape more used.
If you don't know where to sell it what is the point? I guess in case you find somewhere. Anyhow things I really like I always value way more than what money could pay for them.
I don't really know but I thought I saw some on Ebay for around 200 and didn't have any extras.
I can only guess the extremes. Maybe someone else would no closer.
I would say rock bottom 125 to 150. The most you could imagine- somewhere around 300 dollars and over.
Just all speculations of Dennis is all. BTW I see some real high prices on many new microscopes and Nikon is a great name
so you should be able to sell it. I am surprised cause Brazil should have so many great things to look at under a microscope.
Don't they have any newspaper want ads? Best to meet in a public place for safety.
