A microscope contained in a wooden box. The horseshoe shaped base has an attached stand mounted on it. A hinge allows the backbone of the microscope to pivot front and back. Attached just above the hinge is the stage. In the middle of the stage is a large black cylinder with one long and one short hose coming out of it. The eyepiece fits into this cylinder when it is lowered. There is a large coarse-adjustment knob on the lens tube bracket. Inside the wooden box are a pair of stage clips and a mirror clamp for directing light under the stage. The mirror is missing.
