Description

This listing is for a set of polarising hardware for an antique brass microscope comprising:
 
– sub-stage nicol prism polariser (extra large) with rotation feature and degree scale with pointer 37-39mmm fit

– nicol prism analyser with RMS male/female thread fitment and rotation feature

 
The set is likely to date to around the 1910 period.  
 
I’ve tested the nicol prisms and extinction is achieved very easily on rotation, which I’ve also tried to demonstrate in some of the listing photos.  The prisms are reasonably clean for their age and as is often the case with antique optical equipment, a further gentle clean may be beneficial.  Note:  the nicol prism in the polariser is one of the largest I’ve seen and is a top quality item.
 
The polarsing hardware will be well wrapped and shipped by Royal Mail. 
 
Thanks for looking.
