Why buy a YS2 from me?  Because,

I've integrated the finest aspects of tradition with cutting-edge innovation. Say goodbye to plastic gears, oil-dependent objectives, and compromised 10/18 eyepieces. Embrace all-metal gears, a 60X Plan non-oil objective, and enhanced 10/20 high-eyepoint eyepieces featuring eyecups.  Moreover, right from day one, you'll utilize my sturdy iPhone/Smartphone adapter to capture breathtaking photos and incredible videos.

Here's what people say about my workmanship and the overall buying experience:

The microscope I purchased from him surpassed all expectations and has proven to be incredibly effective within our client’s veterinarian clinic. Not only was it meticulously cleaned and relubricated, but it appeared and functioned as if it were brand new.

"Excellent seller! They have sourced quality 60X optics, the microscope is in excellent condition, the packing perfect, and the communication was top notch. I will seriously only buy from this vendor when purchasing optics on eBay."

Description:

Never deal with messy oil immersion again!  I've made the 100X oil objective obsolete. Please see my photos for proof.  My approach is to employ a super-clear Plan 60X (no oil) objective with my custom SmartPhone/iPhone camera adapter, which allows you to digitally zoom in way past a 100X oil objective.  Please take a look at the photo of the 60X at 3X digital zoom without the use of oil.  It's amazingly nice, right?

This refurbished Nikon Alphaphot YS2-T microscope has a new, all-metal, fine-focus shaft and condenser pinion.  A YS2 microscope is perfect for any lab tech seeking portability or student seeking Nikon quality.  The coarse focus, fine focus and stage controls are all very smooth and were completely torn down and lubricated. Yes, even the head was taken apart and cleaned so the images are super clear.  In order to make one super good unit, I often canibolize three other microscopes.  You're paying for the best of the best.  You'll never encounter any cracked fine-focus gears or broken condenser pinions when you buy fro me.  Please see my images to learn more about my testing methodology for rebuilding microscopes.

Buy with confidence, knowing we offer a 30-day 100% money back guarantee.  To ensure you'll receive a top-quality product, this Nikon Alphaphot YS2 Microscope was refurbished, tested and verified to be in good working order before it was listed.
