Compound microscope, similar to microscope VIII.4, with no lenses (was designed for two). The upper part screws into the lower part to vary the inter-lens distance. The instrument is screwed onto a tripod and there is a cap to protect the eyepiece. Given its technical characteristics and the fact that it is made entirely of brass, the instrument was probably built in the nineteenth century.
