Burker Counting Chamber (2193)
This is quite a rare unit from the days when blood cell counting really was ‘counting’ (I did it myself back in the day!). It was used for counting both red blood cells and white blood cells by literally seeing how many were there in a diluted sample of blood against grids on the slide. It is complete with the sampling syringe, coverslips that are held by two clips and most importantly the original case. Not too many of these around now.
Price £35.00 + vat
R & J Beck Objective
Richard Beck and Joseph Beck form the microscope company R & J Beck in 1854 and are generally recognised has having improved the quality of microscope production during the Victorian era. This is a x10 objective finished in brass which is in reasonable condition for its age. It would date from 1900 or so.
Price £29.17 + vat
Antique Objective
This is a very nice antique two tone objective made mainly of brass. It does not have a makers name but is clearly marked 1/6th of an inch. Probably dates from about 1900 or so.
Price £20.83 + vat
Brass 1/12th Objective
Annoyingly there is no makers mark on this fine early brass objective. The two tone styling and the objective brass pot suggests an early Swift, but that is conjecture. Anyway it is a fine antique oil immersion objective with a numerical aperture of 1.30 and corrected for 170mm tube length
Price £40.00 + vat
