Description

Greenough type stereoscopic microscope. The instrument is painted black. The pillar stands on a housing with a glass stage disc. A rack and pinion within the pillar moves the optical components to focus. The eyepiece mounts pivot and are geared to move in unison. The right hand mount can be independently focused. A choice of two objectives are set on a rotating changer.
