New scope of unknown brand

My 7-year-old son made his first binocular microscope himself this evening. He told he can see very clearly the blue bacteria causing inflammation in stomach. :)

This is hilarious.

I hope you told him that without a condenser, the image will be subpar? :lol: :lol: :lol:

He seems to be focussed on the higher magnifications - might actually become a real microscopist very soon!

Congratulations !
The child has grasped the details of the structure of a microscope and sketched them correctly. Attention for details is a blessing.

To my thinking, that's very likely one of the rarest and most valuable microscopes you will likely ever own! Be sure to keep it in a safe place but don't forget to take it out and look at it on special occasions! Your a blessed man!
