It's a LOMO - Russian made in St Petersburg, formerly Leningrad.
They're marketed in Europe as Biolam and in the US as Lomo Multiscope.
Very expandable - the one in the ad has the add on Kohler Illuminator,
bino head & mechanical stage which would make it quite expensive to
buy new. Evidently the lenses are made to prewar Carl Zeiss design
(like much in the Russian optics field!). The one in the pic is the
later model with the fine focus adjustable via the big plastic wheel
in the base. They are not Chinese copies of anything but an original
design and a good hobbyist tool. Darkfield, phase contrast, oblique
illumination and epi illuminator addon kits are available as well as
numerous eyepieces and objectives. Check the Multiscope range on
www.lomoamerica.com for much more detail. Odd situation with imports
into Europe nowadays - a German firm called Bresser seems to have the
concession and they are marketed as Bresser Biolam etc. Do a worldwide
search on eBay for 'mikroskop' and that will pull up all the Bressers.
www.usedmicroscopes.co.uk is the used equipment department of Brunel
Microscopes -very reputable company.
