Cuff - type Compound microscope mounted on a wooden box foot containing many accessories. The brass body-tube is supported by a square-sectioned pillar on which it travels thanks to a threaded rod for focusing. The illumination mirror is held by a fork hinged to the base. Above it, fixed to the pillar, is a cruciform stage with holes for inserting several of the accessories, such as a lens to concentrate light on opaque objects and a forceps for handling specimens. There are five objectives, a lieberkuhn, tweezers, and other accessories for preparing specimens. Provenance: Lorraine collections.
