Description
A beautifully made antique compact brass microscope, best described as a simple or field microscope, dating to the late 19th to early 20th century. This type of instrument was commonly used for early scientific study, education, and field observation, rather than laboratory compound microscopy.
The microscope is constructed primarily of brass and presents well with an attractive aged patina consistent with its age.
The optical assembly remains intact. The microscope focuses correctly and produces a clear image when used. This microscope was most likely made in Britain or Western Europe.
