Pocket Microscope
Description
The simple brass microscope stands on a circular base. The base also acts as the stage and has a circular cut out which allows a specimen to be observed. The pocket microscope would have been used in the field due to its small size. The circular lens holder stands over the base/stage and there are two small columns that connect them.
Condition:
Cosmetically: The brass shows signs of age and use but is in good condition.
Optically: The lens is clear and functional.
Mechanically: The microscope is functional.
