Description

A set of microscope accessories in cans fitted within a wooden case. 30 copper alloy cans with lids containing a mixture of objectives, condensers, analysers, stops and miscellaneous lenses. Some with handwritten labels associated with them. The case has a hinged lid with hook fastening to front. The case appears to have been repurposed to store the cans.
