Description is exactly The compound microscope is made from brass and japanned cast iron. The tripod base is painted black and connected to the substage mirror via a pillar. The mirror is attached via a gimbal joint that allows it to rotate to catch the light for observation. The coarse focus functions by a rack and pinion mechanism which is controlled by thumbscrews on either side of the limb. Fine focusing is controlled by a small thumb screw at the back of the body tube. The square fixed stage has a slide manipulator which holds the specimen in place.
