1. Microscope Head & Optics

* Manufacturer quality: The optics originate from Carl Zeiss Jena, renowned for excellent glass quality.

* Condition of the lenses: The glass and optics are clear, not milky and show no clouding or scratches.

* Function & settings: Binocular view with adjustable oculars, diopter adjustment, and precise focusing controls.

* Tested illumination: The integrated lighting has been successfully tested. The electrical system (plug/cable) works flawlessly, and the lamp shines brightly.

* Note on the housing: In the front area of the lamp cover on the housing, a cover or a specific accessory device may be missing. This does not affect the function of the light, but absolute completeness of the housing cannot be guaranteed (see close-up photos).

2. Articulated Arm & Power Supply

* Flexibility: The multi-jointed heavy-duty support arm enables stable and highly flexible positioning of the microscope in the room.

* Stability: Solid locking knobs (red and black) securely fix the device in the desired position.

The microscope head is mounted on the articulated arm via the integrated guide rail. The interaction yields a stable, ergonomic system for precise work with a large movement radius.
