Microscope with 3 scroll supports on a folding tripod base, c. 1840
This microscope is unsigned and likely dates near the mid-19th century. The country of origin of
this instrument is unclear. It was purchased in
Scotland. The microscope is supported on a folding tripod base. It focuses by manually moving the
tube up and down. The fine adjustment is by micrometer
screw located just above the tripod base within the
scroll supports. The microscope is supplied with three
separate triple-button objectives, one with a small
Lieberkuhn attachment (shown); they are stored in the
case in a compartment under the microscope.
