Add to basketAll brass and glass construction. 14 1/2 inches tall. Base legs are about 8 inches apart. Has a frog assembly (silk mostly perished). The gross focus works smoothly. One small screw missing on gross focus assembly. Patina uniform, with perhaps 20- 30% of original remaining. Paper tag on bottom: "Cat 71B". Multiple aperture lenses rotate smoothly. The top of the pillar arm assembly tightening screw works nicely allowing the top body arm to move in and out relative to the lower body of the microscope. The top body assembly also rotates 360 degrees on the lower pillar (presumably for teaching purposes). We have not tested the optics. An interesting instrument!

Six objective lenses are located in a rotating disk at the lower end of the microscope tube.
