Description is exactly The brass compound microscope stands on a claw-foot base which is attached to the dual side limbs. The limbs end in an inclination joint which allows it to be angled for observation. The rotatable circular stage has two movable stage clips that can be moved vertically along the stage. The stage also has room for attachments, however, there are none with this instrument. Beneath the stage is an iris diaphragm which can be adjusted by rotating. The sub-stage mirror sits in a gimbal and can be rotated to catch the light. Coarse focusing is achieved by a rack and pinion mechanism which is controlled by the dual thumbscrew on either side of the pillar. Fine focusing is controlled by a small thumbscrew at the bottom of the body-tube. The microscope is signed "Lennie Edinburgh" on the base. The instrument comes with a stand-alone bulls-eye condenser which can be disassembled to fit into the case. The mahogany case is fitted and contains compartments to hold the dissembled microscope and its accessories. It has a interior draw that has a section to hold slides. The case has a brass carry handle and is secured by a lock and key, however, the key is not present with the instrument.
