    Description

    Found this older unit in the storage and it
    had been sitting idle for more than 30 years.  this
    microscope attachment is signed "C. Reichert Wien No. 2350 on the base. it appears to be in good cosmetic condition for it's age, it may has some dents, but it is in excellent working order, everything move smoothly. Reichert established his business in 1876 in Vienna.
    In 1876 in Vienna, Carl Reichert founded the Optische Werke C. Reichert. He had married into the Leitz family two years earlier and so employed some Leitz technicians. This may explain why his products were so similar to those of Ernst Leitz of Wetzlar.
    Among other things, Reichert designed new lenses, lighting equipment for microscopes, a heating microscope (1909), and one of the first microscopes for the study of metal surfaces.
    By 1900, the company had produced 30,000 microscopes.
    Although Reichert instruments are usually signed "C. Reichert, Wien," the proper name of the firm was "Optische Werke C. Reichert." The firm was partially sold to American Optical in 1962 and fully taken over in 1972.
