Simple Microscope Body

$50.00

This is the simple Gaertner microscope body. It consists of a sleeve mount with a thumb screw for positioning a drawtube which is threaded on one end to hold an objective. The other end is a straight tube to accept various eyepiece tube adapter sleeves. The outer body has a 1 inch diameter thread so the microscope may be attached to various Gaertner instruments.

Because the sleeve does not have a rack and pinion for precise focus adjustment, the simple tubes are best used with the lower magnification objectives. For similar reasons, measuring reticles are best used in the rack and pinion versions because it is more difficult to precisely focus this type of tube.

The microscope bodies are in good condition. Mechanically they all work properly. This listing is for the microscope body only. It does not include objective, eyepiece adapter, or eyepiece. Please note that these instruments do not have locking collars on the microscope attachment thread.
