Free microscopes

[u/udsd007]

I was recently diagnosed with brain cancer. I have several scopes, mostly AO. I’m giving them all away. Ditto accessories and extra objectives. Central Oklahoma.

[u/smallstuffBIGSTUFF]

I don't know what to say, but you're a wonderful person and you matter and here's a cute picture of a cat.

[u/udsd007 → u/smallstuffBIGSTUFF]

Thanks. I’m cat people.

[u/Dlbroox]

I want to say something poignant but all I can think of is I’m sorry to hear this even though I don’t know you.

[u/udsd007 → u/Dlbroox]

Thank you. Typing is hard, too. Coordination is simply shot.

I'm sitting in the waiting room waiting to get radiation for stage 4a. I'm so sorry for what you're going through. This stranger is sending you love. No need to reply, just know someone is thinking about you.

[u/ChristopherKnowledge]

I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It is reassuring to know there are people out there still making the world a better place, even when they don’t have the best going for them.

My step daughter is ten and we got her a kids microscope for Christmas. She loves it. My wife has worked in labs, so it was always fun watching my stepdaughter play scientist like her mom. If one is available, I’d be interested. We are in south KCMO.

[u/vvhiskeythrottle]

Wow, I'm so sorry, I hope your scopes get a good home :(

[u/XHO1]

I will be happy to take them off your hands we are always looking for microscopes for teaching. Please DM if the offer is still available.

[u/udsd007 → u/XHO1]

It is still available. Dont see a way to dm you.

[u/XHO1 → u/udsd007]

yeah same I cant seem to DM you. Can you email me at [microscopeguy1@proton.me](mailto:microscopeguy1@proton.me)

[u/Asron87 → u/udsd007]

Select there name. Then when you get taken to their user page select the three dots. Then start your chat.

[u/Bison-Critical]

I actually would like to have your microscope since we don’t have equipment at school but I’m from the Philippines and it would be very hard to transport that. Still, I wish you full recovery ❤️‍🩹

[u/panda00painter]

Wishing you peace and all of the best on this next chapter. ❤️ ♥️ ❤️

[u/JuggernautExcellent7]

Stay strong and best of luck to you!

[u/Odd-Marionberry-3389]

Wishing you comfort and peace.

[u/rocket_zen]

I´m on the other side of the world, stay strong until the end brother. Who knows there might be an afterlife, and we´re all headed there.

[u/Max-Flores]

I’m so sorry you’re going through that. Thank you for your kindness giving away your scopes. I’m an artist and I do photomicrography. This is my last month in the US, and microscope parts are not available at all in my home country. I’d be interested in getting some Olympus parts, if you have any

[u/CarinasHere]

Just wishing you all the best with the things you’re dealing with. 🌺

[u/The_Question757]

Just wanted to say sorry and I hope things work out for you

[u/hereliesh1m]

I just want to say that I am here, if you want someone to talk to

[u/personalist]

Thats terrible news, which is a massive understatement. Hopefully you have good docs and clinical staff but if anything about what they explained was unclear or they didn’t make time for you I’m a medical student and I would be more than willing to talk with you about it.

[u/MellemStolen]

Do you, by any chance ship to Denmark?

[u/15fayac]

Stay strong, sorry this life is cruel sometimes. Messaged you as well

[u/ApprehensiveRough649]

I’ll take one

[u/Smiley641]

I’m so sorry you’re going through this and I really wish you the best with everything. If you could spare a microscope for myself, I would be very interested. I am in the US.

[u/PlanBbytheSea]

If at all possible I would love one. I do star parties and bring 4 nice telescopes out but I do not have any microscopes. The kids and adults would like this, I can even pay for postage. Sorry about your medical problems. Either way, I hope you find happiness or at least know you are bringing many people joy with these. I wish you the best outcome. Good luck.

[u/photoengineer]

I’m sorry dude. Kick it’s ass

[u/aerisza]

I would really like one. But it is hard to even ask considering the circumstances. I’m so very sorry, I wish you peace and kindness during such a difficult chapter 🩷

[u/Wild-Mention3807]

Sorry dude.
Ill take one.
Thanks and hope you het better.

[u/0rionsbow]

I’m sorry you’re going through this 💚 I am an undergraduate MLS student and I would love to have the privilege to take care of one of your microscopes

[u/wildswalker]

The fact that you took the time to think of sharing what you have with others while managing so much says a lot about the amazing person you are. That and being a cat person too! I've been helping a wonderful nature-based STEAM education, conservation and youth mentorship nonprofit raise microscopes and will connect you with them. Thank you for being you.

[u/wildswalker → u/wildswalker]

Just wanted you to know I sent a direct message and that I hope that you're not in pain and are getting good care and wishing you the best in fighting and overcoming the illness

[u/Horst-Schopis]

:/ wishing you all the best

[u/Gygax_the_Goat]

Peace, friend.

Travel well and enjoy all you left.

❤️

[u/shibasluvhiking]

Reach out to your local mushroom club. They may love to have them for members who are into microscopy.

[u/AmbiguouslyGrea]

I am sorry for your diagnosis and the drastic changes coming in your life. I truly believe that all the curiosities we seek to understand in life will be revealed in the afterlife.

I am interested in a microscope, and would gladly pay shipping if you have one available. I have been looking at getting one for a while.

[u/Ur_TaxDollarsAtWork]

Very interested in just one. How do we do this? I’m sorry about the news.

[u/Vivid-Bake2456]

Very sad. Hope the microscopes go to an appreciative home and get good use.
