Biological Microscope

Ok, so I found another microscope dad was apparently using for parts.

So I googled it and found reference to it here:  http://www.xmphio.com/html_products/N-400M-Biological-Microscope-41.html

But it doesn't tell me much.  I know there's parts to this microscope missing.  And I have no idea if anyone would even want it.  And I can't seem to find one for sale anywhere.  Here's the rest of the photos.

Now, I know this isn't normal but this thing has battery cables coming out of it and dad had a power source for it.  No, I didn't try it to see if the light came on, lol.  But this isn't normal is it?  Does anyone have any idea who might want this for parts? 

Lomo

I've found quite a few Lomo objectives which isn't surprising.  One of the microscopes that dad used frequently was a Lomo.  I've been trying to figure out which model it is and I can't seem to get anyone by phone or by email at the Lomo headquarters in the US (up by Chicago).  The phone number I've tried is the one listed for the US, Canada and Mexico and I've tried both emails.  The page is http://www.lomoplc.com/wheretobuyFrames.htm and so I think I'm not going to get any help from them.
This is the microscope in question.

If you have any idea what model this might be, please don't hesitate to let me know.  Thank you!

Comments

I appreciate all the help I've been getting with the comments about the microscopes and objective lenses.  I am, however, having a problem making sure I keep up with all of them.  I have changed the settings so all comments have to be approved by me.  Not because anyone is posting anything that's offensive or anything but simply so I can keep up with all the comments.  I'm afraid I'll miss a vital piece of information if I don't have to sift through the comments before they post.  Being as incredibly busy as I am it's just a way to make my life easier right now.  Thanks again to all who have commented.  I truly appreciate it.

Zeiss Lenses

OK, I think I'm pretty sure that the first two of these originally came with the vintage Zeiss microscope.  With that being said, there is a good possibility that I'm making assumptions and that there's more Zeiss specific objectives that I haven't found yet.  I'm still finding objectives everywhere...

This one is obviously an oil lens (not that I know what that means exactly, lol) but it's one of two that I've found that specifically say Zeiss Winkel on it.  The second one, below, also says that.

Because they are both marked like the vintage Zeiss Microscope, I'm thinking they might be two of the original objectives that came with the microscope.  I have a Third that's marked Carl Zeiss so this might have also come with the microscope but I doubt it was original.

Update on the Zeiss Junior

OK, I have made a little headway with the Zeiss Junior.  It looks like dad turned it into a stereoscopic microscope.  I'm still not sure which objectives belonged to it originally but I've found a wooden case for the microscope, the light source and another part that I am not sure what it's called.

Inside the case on the upper right are two other eyepieces branded Zeiss and empty objective cases.  I feel like Alice and things are getting curiouser and curiouser.

Omano 0316598

Got another one I need help with.  It's an Omano.  Says so in two spots.  But I can't find a match for the numbers.  So frustrating!

And while I was trying to find another number on it I broke the round glass plate.  I feel kind of useless at the moment.  :P

eBay

I will be posting some stuff on eBay starting on Wednesday.  Microscope parts and slides to begin with.  Keep an eye out.  My id there is twelveofeight so it ought to be easy to find me.

Vintage Zeiss?

This microscope is possibly vintage and possibly cobbled together as well.  I couldn't find anything on it at the Zeiss website.  I found a similar one on eBay but it had 4 objective lenses, not three.  Here's the pictures with the wording and numbers in them repeated under the photo.

The eye pieces are both marked Zeiss Winkel 12.5x.  There is a mechanism for adjusting the position of the slide that is marked Zeiss Winkel 164273.  There is no light source for this microscope.  If anybody can confirm anything about this microscope for me, I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you!

Lens Three

This lens is a Nikon.  I can't find it on their site.  The photos of this one aren't very good.  That's why I'm putting the information on the lens at the bottom of the pictures, in case it's unreadable for you, the viewer.

A Hybrid Microscope?

This seems to be some sort of hybrid microscope.  I think dad put it together from parts of others but I'm not entirely sure.  If you can identify the parts or type of microscope for me, I would surely appreciate it.

There's Cyrillic writing on two of the parts, then the one part says Made in Switzerland and then the light supply is Bausch & Lomb.  I'm thoroughly confused.

Ebay

Just a quick note here, my id on eBay is twelveofeight so that is the id to look for to follow what I'm selling.  Right now it's miscellaneous office stuff, unopened boxes of slides, tools, etc.

This is the second lens

Here's the story...

Ok.  This is the story.  My dad died suddenly on January 6th.  He was 72 years old.  His hobby was microbiology.  My mom and I have been attempting to assess his microscopes, lenses and cameras to figure out what they are worth so we can find them all good homes.  The problem is that my mom knows nothing about microscopes.  I barely know anything about microscopes.  So we are having a tough time.  I've been trying but I just don't know enough about it to be able to identify the different lenses and determine their worth.  So I've started this blog so I can post pictures and maybe someone can help me determine what they are and maybe even what they are worth.  I appreciate any and all help I can get.

Thanks.
