Fine example of a mid 19th Century brass microscope in its fitted wooden case, complete with eyepiece lenses, and 3 original objective lenses( each ribbed in consecutive order 1, 2 and 3) and extra accessories in brass cases, mostly original accessories. The microscope is made of lacquered brass on a Tripod leg footing with anti slip rubbers underneath. It tilts, has a rack and pinion main focus and additional fine focus on the side of the tube. It has a square stage with  2  movable knobs moving the stage left / right /up down.... The slide rest of the stage, has both its 2 clips  and below the stage is a another focusing lens lamp with all its blanking plates and movable levers, fully original here, below that is a large adjustable mirror with excellent condition mirror on both sides being able to reverse and there is a brass knob and gears controlling depth of the mirror support all in excellent working condition, the mirror is on both sides of an adjustable setting.

The microscope is certainly in good working order. she focuses well and you can view slides
. The scope is fully complete and working....Wow!! Displays excellently in this close to fully complete fashion.
The microscope is in excellent condition considering age of course its not perfect as it is not new , however I hardly think it was used much, the box is also in excellent to fair condition, with the original handle which can be unscrewed and not so many age signs a few scratches and some tarnishing on the brass handle, lock and key works well. The microscope displays excellently and looks amazing on show.
It comes in its original fitted case with sections to hold the lenses,There is one piece of securing block of wood missing inside everything else is great.The box is good quality with a brass carrying handle and comes with its original key. There are some general signs of age and light marks on the box but its all part of the original condition.
