| DESCRIPTION | HISTORY OF ANGUS HENDERSON INSTRUMENTS |
This rare microscope is made of lacquered brass, with a heavily weighted uniquely shaped 'horseshoe' foot.
It is of continental bar-limb construction. Coarse focus is to the tube by rack and pinion,
and fine focus by screw on the continental pattern; the small center knob over the main fine-focusing knob is a modern replacement. There is a long draw tube, as shown in the third image below. The mechanical stage has
separate adjustments for x and y motions. There is a moveable ledge for supporting a slide. There is a wheel of substage apertures with stops.
The mirror is supported on a gimbel to the tailpiece which can swing left or right and is double jointed. The inclination joint has adjustable tension via a milled knob on the left side
of the microscope. There are two objectives, one with three stacked elements, one with two. The trade card in the original case has unfortunately been covered with celophane tape.
It is orange in color.
