Description is exactly The compound microscope is made from brass and japanned brass. The monocular microscope stands on a horseshoe base which is weighted for balance when the instrument is angled. The pillar is connected to the base, and ends in an inclination joint. Above the joint is the square fixed stage which has a circular cut out for observation. The substage mirror is connected via a gimbal which allows it to be rotated to catch the light. The microscope also has a substage iris diaphragm. The draw tube is japanned black, and coarse focusing is achieved by sliding the body tube through the draw tube. The body tube is made from brass. The microscope also has fine focusing which is controlled by a thumbscrew at the top of the limb.
