Cased and Signed John Browning “New” Pocket Microscope

By Orlando Microscopes

Comments Off

Cased and Signed John Browning “New” Pocket Microscope. This microscope is signed: “John Browning 63 Strand, London 826”. Originally, I was not able to determine date of manufacturer from the serial number 826, but the address was valid from 1872-1900. Further research on microscope-antiques.com showed a cased “New” Pocket microscope like mine but with serial number 635, which was dated to about 1887. So that makes this item more likely 1888 or 1889. The accessories include tweezers, an unmarked Read More...

This item has no case or accessories other than what is mounted on the microscope. The focusing function does not work possibly due to stripped teeth on rack. The adjustment wheel just turns freely with no corresponding movement of body tube. The substage plastic disc is in good condition with no cracks. Read More...

~SCARCE J. BROWNING BINOCULAR MICROSCOPE~

By Scientifica Opticae Inc.

Comments Off

Well used but NOT abused, this fully functional polarising binocular microscope was one of only a handful of binocular microscopes made by Browning over his 50 year career. Ross pattern claw foot tripod design, square mechanical and fully rotateable stage with substage parabolic condenser, every aspect of this microscope works smoothly and clearly. Standing 16 inches tall (over 20 inches fully racked up), the original lacquer is spotty and worn on working surfaces (I suspect it was stored in a Read More...
