Description
Signed Powell and Lealand Student microscope with Varley stage C 1850. No case or other accessories other than what are shown in the images. Most of these Student microscopes have an iron base and limb but this is one of the rare ones with a brass limb and base. There are a few issues with this microscope:
1. 1 The tube attachment to the support limb is missing 3 out of 4 tiny screws.
2. 2 The course focusing knob is loose and does not move inner tube for focusing.
3. 3. The fine focusing knob does not rotate.
