Just bought this American Optical series 20.

Would appreciate any thoughts, positive or negative, concerning this instrument. I'm new to the forum and have read every post I could find concerning AO microscopes and accessories. Hope you enjoy. Thanks!

wow, looks to be in great shape, congrats! i'm an AO fan but haven't seen a 20 or 120. you can build on it as you progress! good luck
Re: My New Microscope
Very good! There are a lot of AO experts on the forum if you need help. Parts for your scope are not horribly expensive on ebay either so upgrading is not too hard.

Re: My New Microscope
Quite complete and seems to have been well cared for. Has been fitted with either of the he 1980 's #1021 or 1121, 10x objective too.The original #1019 10x planachro dates back to 1963 or so and doesn't have the level of off axis definition and freedom from lateral aberration and distortion of a modern plan objective. 1021 is a noticeably superior design.
