Description
A collection of vintage student and hobbyist microscopes and associated laboratory equipment. The primary item is a silver-bodied microscope by Bresser Optik, featuring a revolving nosepiece and sub-stage illumination mirror. This unit is housed in its original blue cardboard box and molded white plastic tray. Included with the Bresser set is a boxed set of twelve prepared slides titled Kleine Lebewesen / Tiny Creatures, a blue plastic case containing dissecting tools such as a scalpel, spatula, and tweezers, and various vials, pipettes, and slides. The set is accompanied by a German-language instructional manual titled Mikroskopieren als Hobby.
The collection also includes two individual microscopes. The first is a cream-coloured unit marked Supertoys on the barrel with magnification settings of x 100, x 300, and x 600, featuring a battery-powered light source. The second is a black and silver-toned student microscope with a revolving nosepiece. These additional instruments are presented in green cardboard boxes, one of which is a repurposed champagne carton.
