Nikon TMS Inverted Binocular Microscope
The TMS is one of the classic Nikon microscopes that were built specifically for the examination of tissue cultures. This is a very good example of the TMS and is all original. x10 wide field eyepieces set well above the stage plate. The microscope has rheostat controlled 6v 20watt halogen illumination. This TMS has a good turret of objectives that are all 160mm tubelength.
- x40 with coverslip correction (n.a. 0.55)
- x10 (n.a. 0.25)
- x20 (n.a. 0.40) with coverslip correction
- x40 phase contrast DL (n.a. 0.55)
This is an excellent microscope at a very realistic price considering its heritage

Nikon SKT Binocular (3159)
This is one of the Nikon classics with both bright field and phase contrast options. The microscope itself is in excellent condition for its age and the significant feature is that the lighting has been converted to LED. SKT’s had a very specific lighting unit and power cable system which is increasingly difficult to replace. This problem is gone with the LED system which bypasses these issues. The lighting is now a full Kohler system. The bright field objectives are x4, x10, x40 and x100 (oil immersion) with a bright field condenser. There is also a full Zernike phase contrast condenser with x40 and x100 (oil immersion) DLL phase contrast objectives. The usual SKT features include full mechanical stage and coarse and fine focus controls. The binocular head has the original x10 wide field eyepieces. This is an excellent microscope for current use or indeed as a collectors item. Microscopes like these do not come along very often

Nikon Slide Marker (2336)
This is an ingenious device for marking areas of interest on coverslipped slides. Often used in path labs for marking areas of tissue or cervical smears for further discussion. It has a standard RMS screw thread at one end so that it can be fitted to the objective turret of any microscope. At the other end is a felt ring impregnated with black ink which is spring loaded so you can lower it onto the slide and rotate it to leave a black circle over the interesting part.

Nikon E400 Binocular Microscope
The Nikon Eclipse E400 is one of the classic laboratory standard microscopes from a few years ago when microscopes were ‘solid’. It has to be said ‘they don’t make them like this’ these days. This particular unit is in very good condition and has some very interesting features.
The binocular head is ergonomic which in a practical sense means the angle of the eyetubes can be adjusted to suit the height of the user. This no longer assumes that microscope users are 6 feet tall!
The E400 has a substantial large mechanical stage with double vernier scales and a drop down coaxial movement control and a focusing substage condenser with iris diaphragm. The quartz halogen 6v 30watt lighting system provides Kohler illumination which is essential for a microscopes of this quality.
As with all modern Nikon microscopes the objectives are M25 screw thread and consist of x4, x10, x20 and x40 plan that are infinity corrected. In addition the microscope is equipped with a unique polariser/analyser system that was originally designed to identify uric acid crystals that are responsible for gout. This means that there is a combined polariser and first order red compensator that can be rotated independently. In other words this biological microscope is also very useful as a polarising microscope.
A substantial quality microscope at a very good price.
