    Default Optical Thingy

    Is this any good to anyone?
    I know some of you metal heads have optical comparators and other fancy light trickery stuff.
    I rescued this from the bin. It looked too interesting to be thrown out.
    Bausch & Lomb microscope head (I think).
    Model - Stereo Zoom 4
    Zoom Range - 0.7x - 3.0x
    Two 15x eye pieces.
    In pretty good nick.

    If Stuart hasn't already put his hand up, I'd be interested in it.

    You've beaten Stuart to the punch Michael.
    I'll send you a pm.

    Edit: not by much it seems.

    Great offer NCArcher. Certainly a better quality of bin up your way

    It was part of a donation to the Sydney Heritage Fleet where I volunteer.
    A pallet load of stuff probably cleaned out of someones garage. The guys at SHF had no interest in it and were about to heave it into the skip when I stepped in.
    Glad someone can use it.

    Michael,

    NC's generous gift appears standless. The Nikon scope I bought a couple of months back suffered the same plight. A plight I just addressed. Stuart with chastise me for being p... weak and not making my own but for the price ........... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/311261994...819%26_rdc%3D1

    Leeds make a few different stands but the articulated arm I purchased suits the non zoom Nikon. Have a look at their site and prices - http://www.leedsmicro.com/Leeds_Products-Stands.html

    It will be making its way to Shipito in Nevada Stu. A circuitous route to Perth but cheaper than the seller's shipping to AU.
