Description: | Watson & Sons Ltd London 101649 (stamped on the microscope body tube). GU. 23 (stamped on the microscope body tube). MANU W. Watson & Sons Ltd. 1950 Head Office 313, High Holborn, London, W.C.1. England This is a monocular microsope body tube for a Watson Holophot reflex micrograph . It has a prismatic beam splitter The microscope was designed to be dual purpose since it could accomodate both macro and micro objectives for visual and photographic examination of micro and macro specimens. Micro specimens were viewed by an objective immersed in oil to prevent chromatic distortion due to refraction at the surface of the glass.
All of the microsope main adjustments were by coarse and fine rack and pinions.
The microscope body tube was fitted with a camera, by adjustable clamps, to a chromed steel tube supported by a cast iron frame on a cast iron base. The heavy assembly helped deaden vibrations when the complete instrument was placed on an optical bench (a heavy slate or concrete block attached to a wall and not to the floor). | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
