Olympus X / X-Tr Stereomicroscope - Manual or Instructions ?

Post by rictsuk »

Dear colleagues,

Olympus X (binocular model) and X-Tr (trinocular model) comprised a stereomicroscope line commercialized by Olympus during almost three decades (1960s-1980s).

Although X-Tr model was equipped with a "cumbersome" magnification changer of 5 steps instead of a continuous zoom, its high quality photographic imaging granted a manufacturer´s price above that of contemporary zoom model SZ-Tr until cessation of its production.

I was lucky for obtaining an Olympus X-Tr unit in good conditions for a nice price. Regarding its documentation, I´ve already downloaded Allan Wood´s online Brochures (X/X-Tr 1973 and 1985), but still couldn´t find a source for its manuals.

Accordingly, in case someone has a copy (paper or file) of the X-Tr User Manual (dubbed "Instruction") or the Repair manual, I would like to acquire it.

Thanking for your kindness,

Best regards,

Ricardo (rictsuk@yahoo.com)
