Rare antique Winkel-Zeiss Göttingen microscope. Manufactured in Germany in the first half of the 20th century, this microscope is an excellent example of the field diagnostic microscopes of that era. It was used for medical, veterinary, and sanitary purposes. Microscopes like this Winkel-Zeiss Göttingen model were widely used during the Second World War by military medical units, field hospitals, and research teams. Their compact, portable design made them ideal for rapid deployment in challenging field conditions. These instruments played a crucial role in the diagnosis of infectious diseases, blood analysis, and the detection of parasites, contributing significantly to wartime medical and veterinary care. Owning such a microscope is not only an opportunity to acquire a fine scientific instrument, but also a tangible piece of 20th-century history.
This microscope holds a serial number 101183. 
19 cm long in unfolded and 14 cm long in folded position, it goes with its authentic closing brown leather case 15,5 cm long, 8,5 cm wide and 4,5 cm thick.
