Nachet microscopes

The Golub Collection is fortunate to have representative microscopes from the Nachet optical company of Paris, and it’s predecessors: Oberhaeuser, Hartnack, and Charles Chevalier. We also have 20 microscopes that were part of the original 19th Century Nachet Collection; which was possibly the most famous and important collection of microscopes of all time.
