The following is an excerpt from A Description of the New Improved Compound Microscope for Opake and Transparent Objects:
"This Micioscope is very simple in its construction,
and will be found much easier to manage than any other
compound Microscope in use. Opake and transparent objects,
of any size from 3/8 of an inch diameter to the most minute
animalcule, are seen either by day or night, very
brilliant and distinct, in a field of view, nine inches in
diameter, and magnified according to the magnifier used,
from 700 to 90,000 times. The apparatus for confining and
enlightening the object is very effective, and contrivrd
so as to give as little trouble as possible. The observer
can also be seated in the most convenient position, as
the Microscope can be inclined to any angle."
Although unsigned, this microscope is of the type sold by
Philip Carpenter (1776-1833) located at 24 Regent Street, London and later, after the death of Philip, by Carpenter (Mary) & Westley, London. See this essay about the firm.
