AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An antique French industrial inspection microscope, TRS type, number 30, manufactured by Établissements F. Michel, a mechanical engineering firm located at 40 rue des Postes in Aubervilliers (Seine). The instrument probably dates from the mid-20th century, around 1940–1960, and was intended for observing and inspecting small mechanical parts or samples. It features a sturdy brass construction, with a cylindrical body, an angled optical eyepiece, adjustment mechanisms, and several operating handles. Accompanied by a set of accessories including metal rings, circular supports, and several balls. A fine antique French-made scientific and industrial instrument, showing an authentic patina and signs of use consistent with its age. Overall condition as shown in the photographs; operation and completeness have not been verified.
Highly sought-after in the worlds of industrial design, scientific curiosities, antique medical technology, laboratory optics, steampunk, and rare measuring instruments.
Ideal for a collector, industrial loft decor, a cabinet of curiosities, or a scientific display case (theodolite, microscope, sextant, compass).
