Tokyo Kogaku Topcon AM Microscope SLR
The Topcon AM Microscope SLR is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera body produced by Tokyo Kogaku and configured for photomicrography, attaching to a microscope rather than to conventional photographic lenses. It was sold as a specialist scientific instrument rather than as a general-purpose camera.
Evidence for what a Topcon AM Microscope SLR is worth today is thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £62 in March 2023 is the only data point on file, so any wider price range cannot be reliably stated. As of 2026 that figure should be treated as indicative of wholesale saleroom level for a body sold without a microscope, and retail asking prices from specialist dealers can sit higher.
