Old literature
on photographic and microscope equipment 

These are PDF copies of old manuals, booklets and sales brochures. They are hard to get and contain useful information on equipment which has not been in production for many years. I see often photocopies or electronic copies of similar manuals for sale on the Internet, and I would rather give away copies of mine for free. I can see no copyright notice on these manuals, so I assume they are not copyrighted.

The files are hosted on a small server on a slow link (and I mean really small and really slow). You must wait a while for the files to completely download to your machine.

Unless otherwise indicated, this literature is at least in part in English.
