The TMS is one of the classic Nikon microscopes that were built specifically for the examination of tissue cultures. This is a very good example of the TMS and is all original. x10 wide field eyepieces set well above the stage plate. The microscope has rheostat controlled 6v 20watt halogen illumination. This TMS has a good turret of objectives that are all 160mm tube length.
x40 with coverslip correction (n.a. 0.55)
x10 (n.a. 0.25)
x20 (n.a. 0.40) with coverslip correction
x40 phase contrast DL (n.a. 0.55)

This is an excellent microscope at a very realistic price considering its heritage

In very nice condition this is a Nikon AFM film camera photosystem with a Nikon M-35S camera back. Parallax focus system with target eyepiece. Standard Nikon fitting. A collectors piece.

The Nikon Optiphot series were considered amongst the best and most durable of microscopes and were principally responsible for elevating Nikon into prominence as one of the leading manufacturers of quality microscopes. The Optophot 2 was introduce in the early 1990's and is still widely used professionally today because of its durability. It is unmistakable because of the leatherette wrist supports on either side of the base. This is a binocular version with its original EPlan objectives in very good condition: x4 (0.10), x10 (0.25), x20 (0.40), x40 (0.65) and x100 oil immersion (1.25) couples with CFWN widefield x10/20 eyepieces.

The Kohler illumination system has an external light box housing a 12 volt 100 watt lamp. The front of the stand has the brightness control system that responds with an LED line which reflects the lamp brightness and there is also a photography override button to provide optimum illumination.

The 'leatherette' inserts in the base were design for wrist comfort when using the focus controls, as a result watches and bracelets do tend to leave their marks although on this unit they are quite reasonably preserved. As would be expected there are a few small chips to the paint enamel on the base. A Nikon classic at a very good price.

This is a modern flange fitting Nikon condenser. An Achro- Aplanatic unit with a potential numerical aperture of 1.4. Iris diaphragm condition excellent

A Nikon binocular head complete with Nikon eyepieces Fits the older style N series microscopes. Finished in black and in good condition. Interocular and dioptric adjustments. x10 wide field eyepieces with integral eyecups.

This is an ingenious device for marking areas of interest on coverslipped slides. Often used in path labs for marking areas of tissue or cervical smears for further discussion. It has a standard RMS screw thread at one end so that it can be fitted to the objective turret of any microscope. At the other end is a felt ring impregnated with black ink which is spring loaded so you can lower it onto the slide and rotate it to leave a black circle over the interesting part.

A flange fitting relatively modern Abbe condenser with an integral iris diaphragm and a numerical aperture of 1.25. Condition excellent
