Bausch and
Lomb Optical Company's Fitting for Neutral Tint
Camera Lucida.- Fig. 163 shows the fitting
adopted by the Bausch and Lomb Optical Co. It is
made of vulcanite, and the half ring to which the
frame holding the neutral tint glass is fixed fits
on the cap of the eye-piece. The vulcanite is
sufficiently elastic to obtain a good grip of the
eye-piece.
The glass stage and slide
carrier are described in
Gundlach patent Dec. 25, 1877 and the swinging sub-stage is revealed in the Oct. 3, 1876 patent
The microsocpe was
designed and made by Ernst Gundlach while employed
by Bausch & Lomb.
This microscope was the property of Arthur Claassen (1859-1920),
who was well-known as a successful choral and
orchestral conductor. It was purchased from his
granddaughter for this collection.
