Vintage Bausch & Lomb Microscope with Condenser - $98 (Point Reyes Station)

I don't know how to test it extensively, but I did focus on a bit of paper and it showed me the grain in it very clearly. I'm unfamiliar with how to use the condenser, so I'm sure I wasn't seeing the scope at its best; but even so, it worked just fine.
All the adjustment knobs turned as they should. The fine adjustment knob is a bit tight, but it appears to have a friction screw that can be eased a bit. The clip on the stage slid into place and secured the slide in place smoothly. The knob that moves the stage worked easily and fluidly. Using a somewhat gentle touch, I couldn't get the microscope to tilt back from its straight-up vertical position. I didn't want to try any harder for fear of damaging something, but again, it seems there's a means of loosening the hinge for that adjustment.
