Seems it depends on how the metadata are programmed by the microscope company and the settings for filers etc have to be programmed correctly by whoever sets up the scope. For instance, in the LIF file I checked from our SP8, which used to be a SP5, there is not name of the microscope anywhere, although maybe there is a number that might be meaningful if we know how to decode it.
A few examples I found using BioFormats 6.2.1.
From Zeiss 880:

From Leica SP8 (note the stand is listed, but not the confocal model by name):

Subject: Odp: microscope name retrieval using only the image file
[EXTERNAL]
Give me a sample image, I will check if any meta about it is there.

Hi
I would like to find out the name of the microscope which was
used to take specific biological images. I have opened up "image
info" while using the bio-formats importer which gave me more
information on image parameters than without, but still no microscope
name.�
I was wondering if any body knows how to retrieve this
information with just the image file to hand?
Many
thanks�
Jessica
