Sold: Olympus BX60 Polarization Microscope. Portland, Oregon

Edit: Sold

Hey folks, I'm selling my BX60 to fund another hobby. I bought this 6 months ago as a first microscope to complement my medical lab science studies and it has been great to familiarize myself with such a high quality instrument. Here is the thread I started when I bought it. viewtopic.php?t=14099

The previous owner was a retired chemist who used it to study minerals and crystal structure. It has a bunch of nice parts on it including:
  • U-CPA with 360 Pol
    U-TAD with DIM slider
    Centering objective turret
    Rotating stage
    Strain Free Polarizing objectives
Objectives:
  • Olympus Plan 100x/1.25
    Olympus UPlanFl 40x/.75 P
    Olympus Ach 10x/.25 P
    Plan 4x/.10 P

Nice setup! Petrographic capable scopes are always hard to find deals on. Most geologists cling to theirs until death, and even after death you must cut out their mouthful and bury it with them.

That's an absolute steal. If I was anywhere near you I'd grab it, and I already have one!

SoftMachine, is your microscope still available? I sent a PM, not sure if it went through to you.
