Selling my Olympus CH-2 CHT microscope.

The scope features a custom LED conversion (fully reversible, I kept the original hardware and made no permanent mods to the scope). I designed the conversion to use the microscope's own light adjustment wheel with the high quality, high output, high CRI, Cree XM-L2 diode and a regular DC power brick.

It includes 4 objectives at powers 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x and both 10x eyepieces.

Overall condition is very good.

Pickup in center city.

TONS of included extras -- everything you need to get started, and more.

Asking $320 for everything.

Reasonable offers considered.

• A few pics taken from scope with some of the filters.

I would like to mention that it is extremely difficult to get good pictures from the eyepiece of a scope, especially since I can't use the Olympus eyepieces which compensate for things like chromatic aberration and am instead using a crappy amazon eyepiece which fits into a 3D printed adapter for my camera, so pretend these pics are much better (and in stereo 3D) if you want to imagine looking through the eyepiece. Also some of them have been (poorly) focus stacked because there is a huge depth-of-field when using this setup.
