Questar QM-1 long distance microscope (microtelescope?). Very nice condition with rugged case, untouched front glass, pristine internal mirror, 1 7/8 inch mounting bar, Brandon #32 EP. These are Questar telescopes built to view microscopic objects across the desk or across the room, I bought it to take high resolution photos of musical instrument trademarks. It excelled at this at a distance of about 5 feet, which was much more convenient than using a macro lens right up on a delicate antique. I can't say a bad thing about it, it's a Questar and works like it should. Choice of two magnifications. Rear port takes a camera fitting. Yours for $2000 or make a good faith offer.
From the maker: "The QM 1, for which Questar Corporation received an IR-100 award in 1983, was the first of a new series of long-distance microscopes. It has a working range of 22 to 66 inches, a 30 to 1 variability in field of view, and remarkable depth of field, linearity and chromatic correction which make it an indispensable tool for a wide variety of laboratory and industrial applications. The QM 1 includes two selectable ports, and is compatible with standard eyepieces, 35 mm, and video formats."
