Description :

A mid‑century Nippon Kogaku (Tokyo, Japan) compound microscope, produced circa the 1950s and offered with its original fitted wooden storage case. The instrument retains its black enamel finish, metal focusing hardware, and circular stage, with the maker’s mark and serial number 20940 clearly present on the body.

The wooden case includes its original hardware, interior supports, and compartmented layout for lenses and accessories. The microscope shows expected signs of age and careful use, consistent with long‑term academic or laboratory storage.

A well‑preserved example from the early postwar era of Nippon Kogaku optical production, ideal for collectors of vintage scientific instruments, microscopy history, or Japanese precision optics.



Dimensions : 11 in L x 9 in W x 15 in H
