Researching some items for a hospital heritage exhibition - does anyone know what kind/model of microscopes these are?
Any information about them would be so greatly appreciated!

There is some stamped information on the heel of #1. That could be either the make or the dealer or both. Also, it is possible and likely that such an instrument still carries the original objectives. If they all match, the maker is likely the same as the objectives. Usually, there is a maker's mark on the front of the optical tube on such instruments but many factories produced custom lots for scientific companies, leaving the maker's name off in favour of profiling the name of the scientific company client. On such instruments, often the maker's name only remains on the Objectives.
Reichert is not just “a” Viennese microscope manufacturer, in its time it was one of the best.
Great identification. I did not know that B&L made them - the "oldest" B&L instrument I know was the Spectronic 20...apochronaut wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 4:30 pm#2 is not a microscope. It is a Colorimeter, likely a Dubosque type. Perhaps info is stamped somewhere on the body.
