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.
