Recently i bought an American Optical binocular microscope in an auction in my country.
i tried to found what model is.. i searched through internet but i didn't found an answer.
Looking out at the devicel i think the base is not from this model, and the position of the microscope is different, for example a boom stand or a flexible arm.
If you have some information about the model or where i find a manual ( i have to make some cleaning and restoration), it will be helpful.
I upload some photos of the model.

The top looks like a cycloptic, though with an unusual color and some odd accessories added. They made them for a very long time so that would track. They are given rave reviews by some so you will likely have a great time with it as long as the prisms are in good shape.

Followup, this just came up on my eBay feed: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 2984501339
Looks like you have a stereo head from a slit lamp, hence why the AO logo is sideways. I'd guess it's still a cycloptic otherwise.
