From Theatre to Hammer: Zeiss Lumera OPMI 700 Hits £44K at BMA 

Last week, BMA saw a remarkable sale that turned heads across the group — a Zeiss Lumera OPMI 700 Dual Operated Surgical Microscope, manufactured in September 2023, fetched a stunning £44,000 at auction. 

This cutting-edge microscope (Ref 6634 Rev 3.2.1, S/N 6634150350) came fully equipped with dual f170 binoculars, four 12.5x eyepieces, a F175 APO lens, and its original transport crate. Powering up cleanly with a good bulb, this near-new unit ticked all the boxes for discerning buyers, blending clinical precision with impeccable condition. 

A textbook example of how high-spec, late-model medical equipment can deliver exceptional results under the hammer — and a brilliant addition to our catalogue of great auction stories.
