A classic example of a Cuff-type compound monocular microscope by George Adams senior and signed: “Made by Geo. Adams, Inst. Maker to the Prince of Wales” and mounted on a mahogany box base with drawer containing:
–Six objectives numbered one to six
–Lieberkuhn screwed on its carrier
–Concave/convex glass stage disk
–Bonanni spring stage
–Conical sub stage diaphragm
–Stage forceps andpin
–Stage bull’s-eye
–Fishplate
–Ivory talc box with mica coverslips
–Six ivory sliders marked No.1 to No.6
–Brass hand forceps
Condition is very fine, with the brass retaining most of its original lacquer finish and all is contained in a pyramidal case with a working key.
