QR Code Link to This Post
The Walter F-1-2293 microscope model from Carolina Biological Supply's Walter brand, likely part of their LTM (Light Transmission Microscope) series, a sturdy, inclined, compound microscope popular in schools, featuring a rotating head, coarse/fine focus, LED lighting, and durable all-metal construction, designed for student use in biology with features like a mechanical stage for easy scanning and a limited lifetime warranty.
Key Features Often Found in Walter Microscopes (like the F-1-2293):
• Viewing Head: 360° rotating, 45° inclined for comfortable viewing.
• Eyepiece: Locked-on 10x Widefield, with a pointer.
• Objectives: Removable and changeable, threaded, DIN achromatic objectives (e.g., 4x, 10x, 40x)
• Focus: Coaxial coarse and fine focus with stops to protect optics (“FINE” focus is a MUST have feature in my opinion).
• Lighting: Daylight 5000-6000K LED illumination with long life (10,000+ hrs). and TRUE colors.
• Lighting: Adjustable aperture for light transmission (VERY handy)
• Stage: Mechanical, lubed stage with clips for slide movement.
• Build: Rugged cast metal, acid-resistant finish.
• Accessories: Dust cover, instruction manual, cord holder.
In essence, the Walter F-1-2293 is a reliable, student-focused compound microscope providing good image quality and durability for educational settings.
• The new replacement version listed above is essentially the same as the model F-1-2293 listed here on Craigslist, with the addition of a “100X” objective and sells on line for $463.
This is a great quality microscope for folks that are ready to graduate from their ‘beginner / toy’ microscope. All metal construction, quality build and optics. You can tell the difference when you “feel” the movement of the ‘head’, the focus knobs and the objective turret. I am selling this one as I have graduated to a considerably more expensive and oddly “lower power” scope ($2000 Nikon).
Has a few minor battle scars (nics / tics. See photos), but still looks good. LED works well. Original Grounded cord for safety intact. EVERYTHING WORKS!
The cover is a NEW replacement I ordered for it a while back.
$85. CASH
