The storage case has double doors thus allowing the accessories to be stored on each side. Curiously, this microscope is unsigned, but it is, nevertheless, a Ross No. 2 binocular. The objectives and/or their canisters are signed by Ross. It corresponds to the No. 2 large binocular microscope, c. 1870.
