AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Around 1925, Zeiss introduced a completely redesigned range of microscope stands, with stand E being an early example. The microscopes feature a V-shaped hollow brass foot with a cast-in single flange, on which the arm, with a cutout over an angle of 90 degrees, is pivotally attached. Apparently, this construction was not stiff enough, and quite quickly, the design of the foot was changed. Later versions have a foot with two cast-in flanges, between which the arm is pivotally attached.
The specimen holder is signed E. Leitz Wetzlar.
In good condition, but not tested.
Height 36.5 cm
Width 14 cm
Depth 20 cm
Weight 5.5 kg.
Will be sent registered and well packed.
