Simple Dissecting Microscope

Title

Description

The dissecting microscope is made of solid mahogany with tapered ends that form rests for the hands. The glass stage plate is beveled with a white glass plate located underneath that is placed at an 45 degree angle for illumination. The lens is held in a fitting which swings over the stage plate and slides up and down for focussing. This microscope style was used mainly to study small flowers and plants as well as small animals.

Condition:

Cosmetically: There are no scratches or stains on the white glass plate but there are some scratches to the mahogany due to use.
Optically: The lens is clear and functional.
Mechanically: The magnifier is in good working condition.
