LEITZ' NEW MICROSCOPES 



possess many advantages over the older type, and embody several important features not 



to be found in any others. 



The modified horseshoe base gives greater rigidity, and 

 the larger stage and curved limb additional working space, 

 allowing large size Petri dishes, etc., to be examined with 

 convenience. The new fine adjustment, with an endless 

 motion, is stronger and more durable than the micro- 

 meter screw adjustment, and in the hands of the novice 

 renders breakage of coyer glasses and injury to the 

 front lenses of objectives impossible. It enables the 

 expert worker to attain greater speed in focussing, especi- 

 ally with oil immersion objectives. 



The mechanical features in the new models, combined with 

 the high quality of the recently improved objectives, place 

 the Leitz Microscopes in an 



UNRIVALLED POSITION. 



Prices, with Optical Equipment, from £6 10s. 



DARK GROUND ILLUMINATION 

 BY LEITZ' REFLECTING CONDENSER 



is the most satisfactory method to adopt for the observation of Living and Unstained 

 Micro-Organisms. It is made for either the Sub stage or the Stage, and — owing to its 

 unique construction — a strong source of light is not necessary. 



Pattern A, for Sub-stage, £2. Pattern B, for Stage, £2. 



The instruments and lenses may be examined in the showrooms of reputable dealers, or at the 

 firm's London Branoh, where demonstrations of latest inventions are frequently given.
