I thought I'd give this a try here before putting it up on ebay!

I have a fairly decent stereo microscope (complete with USB2.0 digital camera, software & aluminum carrying case) for sale.
    It has 1X & 3X objectives with a pair of WF5X & a pair of WF10X eyepieces, meaning that it offers magnification levels of 5X, 10X, 15X & 30X.Top/bottom incident & transmitted illumination.Frosted glass & white/black plastic objective plates.Camera resolution is 640 x 480 pixels.Captures still images & records live video in BMP, TIFF, JPG, PICT, PTL & most other formats.Edits images in the same way as Photoshop
I bought this in January 07 for approx $400 (still has 4 years remaining on the manufacturer's warranty). Looking for $300, including shipping.
If you are interested, or would like more info, send me a PM.


Thanks for looking!

    It is an AmScope, I think it is the 305R.

    I'm not sure how to add photos, sorry - it tells me the size limit is 50KB - but will happily email them to anybody who is interested.


    Well, thanks to Mike's kindness in the post below, there are now a couple of photos available!

    The first image is obviously of the microscope itself. The next 2 are samples of photos taken with the camera (using a $5 gold Indian as a model). As the camera is the equivalent of a 10X eyepiece, you can only take pictures at 10X & 30X magnification. These 2 photos were taken using 10X magnification.

    Hope this helps!

    Yeah, that looks like the one (280 for the scope + 70 for the case + shipping = approx $400).

    Goose3, sorry but I don't get the joke, but would like to be initiated - unless, of course, it is necessary to be a sick, twisted, freak in order to understand.

    If you were looking to trade I might be intrested, I feel the price is a little steep for a used item when it can be purchased new for the same price. let me know if your looking to trade or just want cash.

    BTW - Just an opinion, you might be taken more serious if you had a more serious avitar, shrunken heads are fine, they just don't portray you in a positive light.
