ca. 1890's
Digital photograph of a compound microscope. The instrument has been set on a gray counter, and its cherry wood case has been placed behind it. An unrolled tape measure is shown in the foreground for size comparison.
Medical Museum Collection, Box 54
A compound microscope in a finished cherry wood case, measuring 27 x 12 x 8 cm. The brass instrument has rack-and-pinion adjustment knobs and a stage with a mirror below it. Another mirror is attached to a movable rod, which is affixed to the lens tube. The instrument is set on a cast steel base. A note of provenance indicates that the microscope was "used by Dr. Norris," and it was donated by John C. Brougher, M.D., in February 1976. It is in good condition.
