What is your microscopy history? What are your interests? What equipment do you use?

Thought I'd join the group!

#1 Post by rsanto » Wed May 25, 2016 12:51 am

I'm a recently retired electron microscopist, specialized in renal pathology. I also supervised a histology lab for 7 of my 36 years in the biz. I'm downsizing my collection of scopes and accessories and will post some things in the "buying/selling" section.

Welcome to the forum, rsanto.

My mom is a nephrologist. They use microscope for some quick and surprisingly accurate urine analysis.

There are quite a few collectors in this forum. Collector or not, we all love microscopes. Many memebers, including myself, have a scope for each and every family member, including pets :mrgreen:

I am looking for a Leitz Heine condenser or a Reichert Polyphos condenser. Do you have one for sale?
