This unique pocket microscope is stored in a black finished brass cylinder.
Upper portion of the cylinder is screwed off and the microscope is unscrewed from the remaining
portion. Each of the three legs are then attached to assemble the tripod stand. The objective
is divisible; the three components can be added or subtracted to vary the magnification.
