Microscope
165 (unassigned
maker; pocket microscope; late 19th to early 20th
centuries)
Microscope 165 is a simple pocket
microscope from c. 1900 to early 20th centuries. This microscope
has a single simple lens with a magnification of 50x and a recess into which
a slide could be fitted for examination. The two protruding bars attach to a
spring within the instrument that hold the slide in place once it is
inserted. The eyepiece of the microscope can then be moved in and out to
focus the image of the object of interest. Microscopes like this example
became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and were
manufactured mainly in France and Germany. |
