Used Zeiss Stemi 2000 prices
After careful study and reasearch, I have decided to upgrade my microscope from the Meiji EMZ 8TR with 0.5x supplemental lens to a Zeiss Stemi 2000 with 0.4x supplemental lens. Until I have my eyes repaired, I need better light gathering and depth of field that it appears Zeiss offers in the Stemi; and with the 0.4x supplement lens I will have about the same magnification range and a bit more working room than my Meiji 8TR.
When I purchased my used Meiji I found just what I wanted in quality/price by waiting and watching e-Bay for a few months.
I have been doing the same watching and waiting for a Stemi 2000 on e-Bay. One recently sold for $1,500.00 on e-Bay that I missed seeing, and there are others in the $3,000.00 price range listed.
The question I have for you Zeiss Stemi users: Was the $1,500.00 for a plain Jane used Stemi 2000 a one off deal that was very rare? All I really need is a body, objective lens and 10x eyepieces.
