A PORTABLE MICROSCOPE LAMP. 



{Exhibited October IQth, 1896.) 



This microscope lamp, made by Mr. Hinton, was designed and 

 exhibited by Mr. Goodwin. The chimney is of metal and has 

 in it two circular apertures one inch in diameter, one of which 

 is glazed with signal green and the other with steel blue glass. 

 The cylindrical reservoir is two inches in diameter. The burner 

 takes a £ wick, but Mr. Goodwin uses blotting paper in pre- 

 ference to cotton. The chimney is sprung on to the gallery ; this 

 simple plan obviates the necessity for the use of the ordinary 

 little screw. The lamp with its attached chimney is seven 

 inches high, and both are nickel plated. It forms not only a 

 portable but also an efficient lamp, and one that will be found 

 specially useful for exhibition and other purposes.
