Hello,
I am buying a second-hand Abbe refractometer. Does the condition of the prisms look okay to you?
Thanks for your advice!

Hard to tell.
I also bought a 2nd hand one (it was an old model but unused) . First looked promising until I performed a calibration. Mine is inaccurate.

The prism looks ok to me, btw.
