content: I have a few used stereomicroscopes available for sale if they are of interest to anyone.Some Bosch and Lomb Stereozoom, Nikon (SMZ1, etc) and a few Leicas. Also a few higher-end models (including a couple of classic Wild/Leica M3Z's - one with an ergo head).Most of them come with mounts/focus drives (see photo). There are a few boom stands and a few small-footprint stands available.I will take some photos and put some prices up with links as soon as possible (in the next few days).Based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne but can deliver by courier in the UK..

content: As someone who's shipped about 100 microscopes, the only way of shipping them is removing the head, putting it in a box with lots and lots of padding and sending everything else in a separate box.

content: Thanks KJDS. Yes, that sounds like a good ideaOpen to offers on the above, especially if you can collect from Newcastle-upon-Tyne.I also have a Stereozoom 5 head with 0.8 - 4x zoom if high magnification required (gives a final total magnification of 8-40x with 10x eyepieces). This can be boosted to a final magnification of 12-60x if used in conjunction with 15x eyepieces.JohnP.S. I am also interested in a part ex trade for a good quaility soldering iron (something like a HAKKO FX-888D but open to other ideas).
