Description is exactly The brass, compound microscope was designed by the Ross pattern with a Y-shaped foot screwed to a mahogany board which slides into the case. The stand is the Baker #2 stand advertised in 1862. The coarse focusing is operated by rack work and fine focusing by thumb-wheel on the nose-piece. The circular stage has a centering bar that slides along the stage for positioning the specimen. Below the stage is an adjustable Abbe condenser that moves with its own rack work and adjusting thumb screws. The condenser has a slide out holder for filters and the substage mirror is concave and one sided. The microscope has three eye-pieces of different magnification and is signed on the foot "Baker, 244 High Holborn, London." The mahogany case is fitted and has compartments to hold the objectives and slides.
