The Botanist’s 
Microscope 
Designed 
to be used with the 
botanical text-books 
published by the 
AMERICAN 
BOOK COMPANY. 
This convenient instrument, devised and manufactured first 
for the use of the students in Harvard University, has given 
so great satisfaction there, and elsewhere, that we have made 
arrangements by which we are able to offer it to students in 
all parts of the country at a very reasonable price. 
A thousand things about forest, field, or garden afford 
objects of intense interest for daily study, and a good Micro- 
scope furnishes the best means for unlocking their secrets. Of 
this Microscope the late Dr. Gray said : “I do not think 
anything better can be made for the money.” 
This Microscope is attached to a box, one and a half 
inches high and less than four inches long, into which it is 
neatly folded when not in use. The needles are used for dissect- 
ing flowers or other objects too small to be otherwise handled 
for analysis. The lenses magnify about fifteen diameters ; or, 
with three lenses, about one-third more.
