  Simple Dissecting Microscope

  The simple dissecting microscope is made from brass and wood. The lenses, mirror, and other components fit into compartments on the underside of the stage. The stand is folded in the legs hold all the components in place. The stage has a circular cut out for observation of a specimen. The instrument should come with three lenses, but only one remains with the microscope. The mirror holder is present, but the mirror is missing. There is another arm and body tube attachment which would allow the microscope to operate as a compound microscope; however, it is not clear if it is original to the microscope.
