Antique 30’s Carl Zeiss Jena Microscope

Antique 30’s Carl Zeiss Jena brass microscope

This unique piece was manufactured in the German city of Jena by Carl Zeiss, a company that over the years got famous for the high quality lenses & optical systems!
The level of craftmanship that was put into this microscope is hard to find in modern optics and is life-lasting!
It comes with its original wooden storage box of which the inside still shows the initials of the original owner and the company it was sold from; Exlibris – N. Van Steenwijk.

It would be the perfect piece to display in your science collection or cabinet of curiosities!

After more than a century the microscope is in a used condition and shows signs of wear.
Over the years it acquired a nice patina which only adds more charm to it!
I’m not sure if it’s still functional and might not be totally complete. One of the stage clips is missing.
