Description

Cased Paul Waechter Microscope.   C. 1880’s and case is stamped with serial number 4808 and also stamped with P. Waechter Berlin.  Accessories include a larger glass disc, a few eyepieces and a few objectives marked 4, 7 and the one on the microscope is marked 9.  Fine focusing seems to work, however, the coarse focusing is assumed to be accomplished by drawing the body tube and attached objectives up and down.   I have not been able to move the body tube vertically at all.  The double-sided mirror is in good condition.  The case is in good condition with the exception of a crack on the lid that is 3” (7.6 cm) long.  The microscope stands 10” (25.4 cm) tall.   The case dimensions are 11.75” (29.8 cm) long, 6.75” (17.1 cm) wide and 4.25” (10.8 cm) deep.
