Hello Digital Collections representative, East Carolina University, Many years ago, I purchased an American Optical Field Microscope (#3050-147) with case to use for testing of drinking water in Guatemala. Although the microscope did not show much usage and was in “mint” condition (and still is), there were some parts missing (e.g., I bought the lenses separately). I recently did some research on this microscope and landed on your website: https://digital.lib.ecu.edu/21983. For your reference, I have included a link to images of the microscope (on Google Drive): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o1OP3-L7istZIBvw96g4um3x4ECKCy1P/view?usp=sharing. Please advise if you have questions or would like further information. Thank you. Daniel Rehak Director, Together Education Works Canadian-registered charity
