§ 395. Traveling Microscope. — For many years the French 

 opticians have produced most excellent traveling microscopes. The 

 opticians of other countries have also brought out serviceable instru- 

 ments. In the one here figured Mr. Leitz has combined in an admirable 

 way a traveling microscope and a laboratory instrument. For the 

 needs of the pathologist and sanitan* inspector a microscope must pos- 

 sess compactness and also the qualities which render it usable for nearly 

 all the purposes required in a laboratory. This instrument is a type 

 of such apparatus which has grown up with the needs of advancing 

 knowledge.
