【Showa Retro】Carton Optical Microscope Set M-842 (Operation Unconfirmed / Sold As-Is)

This is the M-842 TWE Set, a high-quality educational microscope set from Carton Optics (Carton).
It was found during a clean-out of my parents' home and I believe it's over 40 years old, but it's a genuine optical instrument with a Showa retro atmosphere.

[Set Contents]
• Microscope body
• 2 Eyepieces: 10x, 15x
• Combined with 3 objective lenses, it supports magnifications from 100x to a maximum of 450x.
• Outer box
• Observation guidebook and instruction manual
• Prepared slides (finished slides, slide glass, cover glass)
• Supplies such as staining solution and balsam
• Tools such as dissecting needles, scalpels, and droppers
*Tweezers are missing. Everything shown in the photos is included.

[Product Condition]
• Exterior: For an item of this age, I believe both the main unit and the box are in good condition.
• Operation: I confirmed that the field of view can be brightened with the mirror, but as I lack specialized knowledge, I have not been able to perform detailed operational checks such as focusing.
• Lenses: When looking through, a white field of view is visible, but there is a possibility of cloudiness or minor mold due to age.

[Notes]
• As this is a very old item, maintenance such as lens cleaning may be necessary if you intend to use it.
• The included chemicals (staining solution, etc.) are likely deteriorated due to age, so please exercise caution when using them.
• This item is being sold as-is (treated as junk) with no guarantee of operation.

We hope to pass this on to someone who enjoys antiques, collecting, or repair/maintenance.

As this is a precision instrument, it will be carefully packed with bubble wrap and shipped.
