A W&rkshop Microscope. Bij 3. E. Stead. 21 



of a Microscope in the most simple form in their workshops. As 

 the metal objects are opaque, the necessity of having a substage 

 is avoided. 



The stand, as will be seen in the illustration (fig. 2), has no 

 substage, and is supported on a tripod base. 



The lower terminals of the legs consist of hard steel points, and 

 the upper ends are secured by screws into the brass disk. 



The microscopic tube, 8 in. in length, is free to slide through 

 a second tube secured in the centre of the disk, and when in 

 use focus is obtained by moving the tube upwards and downwards 

 by the fingers. "When the focus is found, the tube can be fixed, if 

 desired, by a small set-screw. 



Such a Microscope cannot replace the more elaborate Micro- 

 scopes, and is designed, as previously stated, for use in the work- 

 shop and office of the works foremen. 



The illuminating arrangement can, however, be used in con- 

 junction with any Microscope.
