The main focus utilized with this microscope operates on the stage by rack and pinion. The tube remains stationary and has a fine adjustment operated by the milled knob attached to the tube which moves the nosepiece. Another microscope by the same makers with a similar focusing arrangement can be found elsewhere on this website.
