Steindorff MicrobeHunter for Sale (SOLD)

#1 Post by stitchy.mitch » Wed Oct 28, 2020 7:46 am

I have for sale the Steindorff Microbehunter- a very unique and difficult to find microscope. Serial: 53055- Likely produced prior to the second world war, or shortly after it commenced.
There is no rust, and all metal surfaces are clean and in fine shape. The paint is overall GOOD, but there are small defects on the paint job here and there, presented in the pictures.

The microscope is complete, save for its original carrying case, and the objective cases.

The microscope is replete with:

-A trinocular tube
-Condenser capable of oblique lighting
-Mirror
-X-Y stage

6 original Steindorff achromatic objectives.

-Simply '4x'
-10x/0.30 Achromat
-30x/0.65 Achromat
-45x/0.65 Achromat
-60x/0.85 Achromat
-100x/1.30 Oil immersion Achromat

5 sets of eyepieces

-Set of 5x eyepieces
-Set of 8x eyepieces
-Set of 13x eyepieces
-Set of 15x eyepieces
-Set of 25x Periplan eyepieces

The course and fine focus both move smoothly, as well interocular distance knob and condenser rack. The stage, in my opinion is a little stiff, but moves smoothly.
I don't believe this is a microscope especially fun to do serious microscopy on, given its less than ideal ergonomics, but does produce a good image, and the oblique lighting is especially fun to use with the microscope.

I am asking $1300 for the microscope. I'd be surprised if I ever saw one in the flesh ever again.

I'd prefer to sell this item to a forum member, than sell it on Ebay.
