Description

Antique British Aquarium Microscope.   C. 1860.  There is no case or accessories with this microscope.   The microscope is not signed or marked.   Since this microscope uses an aquarium as the stage, there is no stage or mirror are part of aquarium microscopes.   This model is fairly early as it can not be raised or lowered.   Later models corrected this.   Focusing is by rack and pinion and works well.   The objective lens is made of both brass and copper.  The stand has two folding legs.  The microscope stands 9.5”(24.1 cm) tall when folded vertical and at minimum height.
