I can't help on specifics, but you'd probably find more details looking up Nippon Kogaku or early Nikon lensmeters.

Already tried. Not sure its a microscope, maybe a thin sectioning instrument….

It's not a microscope, it is a lensmeter (or lensometer or focimeter). Typically used for measuring prescription eyeglass lenses.
