I have for sale in lovely condition this nice example of The London-Handle Model Microscope by R & J Beck Ltd London, c. 1910-1911. It would seem that this microscope was supplied with two different surface finishes. This example has a Brass black coated finish with brass trim. The seriel number is 30836. It has 3 rotating objective lenses 2 of them being R & J Beck 16mm & 4mm and 1 is C Baker London 1/12 OIL 1mm. This model is designed so that the limb forms a strong handle, by which the instrument can be conveniently grasped without danger to the adjustments. It has what I believe is called an Abbe Condenser. It has the mirror which is concave on one side and plain on the other. It has 2 top eye pieces one being 25mm x 10 and the other 42mm x 6. The microscope looks to have been well looked after as the condition is lovely. It comes in the original box which is showing its age. Please see all my photos as I don't know much about microscopes and eel free to contact me with further questions. For overseas please contact me for postage price due to the weight it would have to go Parcelforce.
