The Wild (Heerbrugg) company was founded in 1921 in Switzerland and their microscopes were notable for their fine engineering. Wild merged with Leitz in 1987 and was renamed Wild-

Wild M8 Zoom Stereomicroscope
Wild stereomicroscopes quite rightly have an excellent reputation for optical quality and mechanical performance. This is an excellent example with just a few small paint chips to the base as would be expected. There is a photoport for connecting a camera which can be easily removed and repositioned when needed. The magnification range is x6 to x50 with a x1 plan objective which gives an impressive image quality and the unit has an iris diaphragm. The photoport allows either the full image to the camera or to the eyetubes. x10 wide field eyepieces. Pole stand for coarse focus with a rack and pinion for fine focus. The unit has both transmitted and incident illumination, with two focused lamps on flexible arms to allow light at the required angle. A fine microscope .

Wild x100 Phase Contrast Objective
Individual Wild objectives that have become separated from their parent microscope are difficult to come by these days. This is one of the best of them. A Fluotar HI x100 phase contrast objective (RMS screw thread and 160mm tube length) with a numerical aperture of 1.30. Good condition.

Wild Inverted Trinocular
This probably belongs in the Vintage or Collectable's section of this web site. To say that this is a rare microscope is an understatement. There were not a large number of these made and to find one that is fully functional and all original is rare indeed. As would be expected there are a few small marks on the enamel of the stand. Taken from the top downwards, the halogen (6v 20watt) is in a unit that can be moved up and down the ‘pole’ stand and has a focusing and centring mechanism. Beneath this is the condenser system that has a focusing height mechanism and a full Zernike phase contrast condenser.
The large stage has a very long drop down coaxial control mechanism that is ‘jointed’ to prevent damage which is a very clever mechanism.
Beneath the stage is the turret with Wild objectives x10, x10 phase, x20, x20 phase, x40 and x40 phase. The eyepieces are x10 Wild. There is a side arm from the binocular head that allows the attachment of a camera with a control mechanism that allows all the light to the binocular head, or the trinocular tube or shared between both. There are separate coarse and fine focus controls. The only thing that is not the original is the transformer box that controls the lighting and this is simply because of electrical regulations that now apply.
This is a microscope that is as much to do with looking at as it is with looking down but its general condition means that you can do both!
