My main microscope is Zeiss NfPk with Epi illuminator, Variable phase contrast, DIN 45mm Apochromat objectives from Mikroval era and trinocular head. Recently I've aquired and repaired Polmi A polarizing microscope and had many great moments looking at crystals through it - will definitely post some pictures later. For work purposes (I do some metalworking and research in electroplating field) I have Epityp-2 inverted microscope with polarization set and microhardness tester after Hanemann. Also I own LOMO MSPE-1 (МСПЭ-1) zoom stereomicroscope and LBVO (ЛБВО) surgical binocular glasses with fiber optic illuminator for work with small parts. Someday I'll make more detailed posts about those fine microscopes.
Apart from microscopy, my hobbies/pastime include birdwatching, 3d-printing (I own an SLA resin printer), metalworking (when I was in college, I had access to a great machine shop and made some mods for my microscopes there). I really enjoy designing and making non-standard equipment. I am jeweler by trade, my main dream is to open my own small workshop.
Finally, here's a picture of some of my gear - Epityp 2 to the left, Nf on the right and LBVO sitting atop of Nf's wooden box. All wooden boxes nearby are accesoires for microscopes - I really try my best to find equipment with it's respective box for collection and aesthetic purposes.
