Microscope
425 (unassigned maker;
stereoscopic microscope; mid-20th century) Microscope 425 is a stereoscopic
microscope but not much information was found about this instrument or its
maker. The base of the instrument in engraved with the serial number 93246
but there are no other marks. However, the eyepieces contain the name
“INAMI”, which may correspond to the Japanese firm Inami
& Co. Ltd., originally founded in 1924 by Chikaichi
Inami for sales of glasses for medical use. In
1955, the company started manufacturing optical equipment for ophthalmology.
The company was incorporated in 1975. The instrument has its original box. Note: this instrument was kindly
donated by Dave Levell (Pembrokeshire, Wales) in May 2023. |
