It comes in two parts which slot together, a sprung mechanism operated by two lugs allows for the slide to be placed below the lens for viewing, the slide included is of a ‘moth wing’. It comes in it’s original box of reinforced cardboard which remains robust however the hinge is broken, the original instructions remain inside the lid. The microscope is in working order.
It is a beautiful thing to own and of particular interest to a collector of scientific instruments, but it can also be used as a functional item.
