Wild M5APO, Used

The Swiss Wild M5APO stereomicroscope has been a favorite of researchers for a generation.  The rare Apochromat 1x objective lens is optically superior to the standard M5A.  Per the Wild brochure dated 1980, "The WILD M5 APO Stereomicroscope has been developed for research and investigations calling for highest accuracy and requiring the maximum information content to be exploited.  The instrument fulfils stringent conditions of sharpness, contrast, resolution and colour fidelity.  Its objective is the Apochromat, an optical masterpiece by Wild Heerbrugg and an innovation in stereomicroscopy.  The total correction of residual chromatic aberration is the result of extensive calculations and is achieved by using high-quality special glasses and applying the most advanced technology."

This one comes with an original Wild plain stand with new black / white stage plate, and Wild 10x/21mm eyepieces, one focusing.  The CMO (common main objective) modular design allows the addition of components such as a phototubes and drawing tube (camera lucida), sold separately.
