| Brief Description: | The optics are incorporated into a casting painted pale green. The base has an egg-shaped outline with supports at each end that hold the stage. A port in one support allows light to be directed onto a forty five degree mirror below a substage condenser. The other support is in the form of a ribbed cylinder which, when turned, moves the assembly holding the optical tube to adjust the fine focus. The circular stage plate is can slide in any direction. Movement is restricted by a fixed disc beneath, that stops it over-running the optical path. The body tube has a rotating objective changer for six objectives. Focusing is by a collar that acts on rackwork on the side of the tube. The mount for the eyepiece is angled and contains a prism. It is aligned and secured by three screws. | ||||||||||
