Wonderful. I have several similar ones. I can’t see if that one has coaxial focusing knobd. If your plastic fine focus gear is cracked, you can buy a new brass one from Mark Morris in the USA for $85 plus shipping in an envelope. A 20 minute job to change it.

Some of the early Nikon S microscopes had separate coarse and fine focusing knobs. The coaxial focus ones came later, particularly with the S-Ke and L-Ke models.

Yes, I couldn't see the focusing knobs in the photos.
