Thread: Old microscope!

Hy, i have a microscope from 1966, WILD, i dont know much about this sort of things, so i am intrested about the price or it is just another ordinary microscope. Can anyone tell me something about this. Thanks

What model, what magnification, just to ask a few important details about it and a picture would be good too. Ebay would be a good place to sell it if you want to put it up for bids.

You won't get much for that but as I suggested try Ebay to have people bid on it.

Do you really need the money? It sounds ace and like something you might want to give your kids (or future kids).

i wish i could afford a decent microscope :/

I don't know what shape it's in, but a nerd like me would probably use it as a decoration. It looks pretty cool.

What for? You don't do any research that you've talked about here so why would you need that?

I'm not a professional astronomer- doesn't mean I don't want a bad @$$ telescope!

i need to do research to want to have a microscope? or are you referring to the "decent" part? but because i'm used to using pretty decent microscopes and i would love to examine things in my own time. but of course i'm not doing research, i'm still in undergrad. i do, though, plan on researching in the future.

and if you were referring to the need of a "decent" microscope, i can't even afford the cheap ones!

This is an older model but they are available still for 90.00 US. The link I provided shows you where to buy them.

sorry, i wasn't talking about the one in this thread, just microscopes in general. i have no room in my broke college student budget to buy one, whether it be cheap or expensive. i wouldn't really want a cheap one though, because i wouldn't be able to view things in the quality that i am used to and would like to.
