## New Constructions.

Since issueing our last catalogue, a number of new apparatus and accessories have been added. The following are the more important ones:

1. A completely new stand "A" with extra fine micrometerscrew transmitting its movement directly to the tube. The stand is of elegant appearance and large dimensions, making it especially well adapted for work in photo-micrography.

2. Stand I is now fitted out with the new special fine adjustment (each division 1/1000 mm).

3. Stand II with round centering stage.

4. Stand IV is replaced by a model of larger size.

5. Photo-micrographic apparatus for use in horizontal and vertical position, having joint for inclination, large size bellows and plateholder.

6. Large projection-apparatus for electric lamp of 30 Ampère with triple collecting lens of 210 mm aperture.

7. Objective 1 a with adjustable mounting and changeable magnification. It is an excellent objective of low power for general purposes, having a comparatively short working distance.

8. Objective 1 b with changeable magnification of lowest power, as far down as two diameters. It serves for drawing extended sections and specimens.

9. Saccharimeter after Mitcherlich improved form.

10. Trichinoscope, projection-apparatus of strong and simple construction.

## Preface.

Our American Branch house in New-York under the management of Mr. Wm. Krafft has now been established for over 10 years. This period has witnessed a gradual development of our business in the United States, making it necessary to establish some years ago a Western Branch in Chicago of which Mr. R. Gibson has charge.

The cordial reception our firm received has been most gratifying and we take this opportunity to thank our many patrons for their kind consideration.

It is our aim to co-operate with the scientists and construct new apparatus to meet their needs or improve others wherever this is possible.

The foregoing list of additions and improvements made since issueing our last catalogue is proof that we spare no time nor labor to hold pace with the increased wants of modern times.

We have now manufactured and sold over 71000 compound microscopes and 31000 oil immersion objectives, a large number of which are used in the laboratories of Universities, Colleges, and other Educational Institutions of the United States.

We are prepared at New-York and Chicago to repair our instruments or make alterations at short notice and at lowest prices. The optical part of a microscope should invariably be sent to the maker, as he is best in a position to repair same and has an added interest to bring a lens back to its original quality or even improve it.

Microscopes, bacteriological apparatus and all other scientific instruments or preparations expressly imported for use in educational institutions are exempt from duty.

Catalogues may be had on application by addressing:

## Objectives and Eye-pieces.

In the manufacture of our objectives only such glass is employed as has been subjected to the most rigid scientific tests. By these the exact index of refraction and the exact degree of dispersion of the glass are determined, and with these data available it is possible to very perfectly correct both spherical and chromatic aberrations while still making use of wide angular apertures in the objectives.

The precise mathematical calculation, combined with accurate systematical working and testing methods, make it possible for us to guarantee our objectives to be all of equal and excellent quality.

Every objective before leaving our hands, is subjected to the most careful test, and only such lenses as are of the highest grade, are sent out.

For the past seventeen years we have used glasses manufactured by Schott & Co. of Jena. This glass has many points to recommend it for the construction of optical instruments, and only such kinds are employed by us, which have for many years been thoroughly tested as to their durability.

Our lenses are therefore absolutely permanent. Objectives of the earlier type which have become cloudy, we shall gladly repair.

The three illustrations given above afford an idea of the plan of construction of our achromatic objectives.

The first figure represents the plan of our low power objectives, and it will be noted that they consist of two doublets, or triplets each carefully corrected.[8]

The central figure shows the construction of our high power dry objectives. A hemispherical front lens is combined with two doublets or sometimes triplets. The front lens is the chief magnifier of the combination, while the other lenses serve to correct the various aberrations.

The Oil-immersion, represented by the last illustration consists of a front lens, hemispherical, behind which is a meniscus, which is in turn followed by a doublet and a triplet, these latter acting as the correcting lenses of the combination.

We manufacture both Achromatic and Apochromatic objectives. They differ in that the glasses made use of in the apochromatics and the manner in which they are combined permit a more perfect correction of chromatic aberration. This advantage is not gained without a certain sacrifice of simplicity in construction; by avoiding the use of flint glass having a high refractive index and substituting materials to take the place of crownglass. The apochromatics as a matter of fact do resolve the fine markings of test objects (butterfly scales and diatomes) somewhat more clearly than the achromatics, but the difference is slight and in ordinary stained microscope preparations is hardly detectable.

The correction of both achromatics and apochromatics is complete. The ordinary Huyghenian eye-pieces are consequently well adapted for use with the objectives of either construction. Only with the highest powers is it desirable to make use of the so-called "compensation" eye-pieces.

The achromatics and Huyghenian eye-pieces are also well adapted to the requirements of photomicrography, special objectives being unnecessary for this purpose. This statement is substantiated by the excellent results obtained with our achromatic objectives, as shown in the photomicrographs accompanying our brochure on Photomicrography:—"Anleitung zur Mikrophotographie".

In making use of the higher power objectives—from No. 5 on—it should be remembered, that the lenses are corrected for cover glasses of 0,17 mm in thickness and for a microscope tube-length of 170 mm. When using the oil-immersion objectives it is particularly desirable, that this exact tube length should be employed. With a view to facilitate the adjustment of the tube-length the draw tubes of all our larger stands are graduated in millimeters, the scale[9] indicating the exact length of the microscope tube in any given position of the draw tube. In this connection it should be remembered, that the width of the collar of the nose-pieces is 15 millimeters, and that consequently, when a nose-piece is attached to the tube the reading of the draw tube scale should be 155 mm instead of 170 when the adjustment is proper.

#### Figure comparative merits of the dry and immersion systems.

The above sketch may serve to make clear the advantages of the immersion objectives over those of the dry series. It is intended to represent diagrammatically a section through a cover-glass and the front lens of an objective, one half of the figure representing the conditions present in the case of the Oil-immersion, the other those which are present in the dry objectives. It will be noticed that by the interposition of a drop of oil of the same index of refraction as the glass between the cover-glass and the objective the refraction which occurs in the dry system when the light leaves the upper surface of the cover-glass is done away with. Since this second refraction is attended with much loss of light it must be evident, that in the immersion system a much greater quantity of light enters the objective than is possible, other things being equal, in objectives of the dry system.[10]

If we let u represent one half the angular aperture of an objective, represented in the diagram by D'BN in the case of the immersion, and n the index of refraction of the medium interposed between the cover-glass and the objective we have in the formula n sin. u a mathematical expression of the optic power of the various systems of lenses, or in other words for what is designated the numerical aperture.

The following table gives the numerical apertures of objectives of the various systems and of various angular apertures. In the dry system n., representing the index of refraction of air is taken as 1.00; in the immersion systems n equals 1.33 for water, 1.52 for cedar oil and 1.66 for monobromnaphthalin. A glance at the table will suffice to show the great advantage which the immersion objectives have over those of the dry series.

[1] Objective 1* consists of only one doublet, carefully corrected. It is sufficient for many purposes, though it does not possess the same brilliancy of field as the No. 1 objective.

[2] The objectives 6a. and 7a. are better corrected in achromatism than the regular No. 6 and 7.

#### Double revolving Eye-piece.

Until very recently we have manufactured no arrangement for changing oculars on the microscope. This was due in part to the fact that there was no great demand for such an accessory and in part to the clumsiness of all those revolving eye-pieces which changed the entire ocular. The latter of these difficulties has been overcome in our present revolving eye-piece by such an adjustment of the collecting or lower lens of the eye-piece that it may remain permanently in position, the eye lens of the combination alone moving in the revolver. So accurate is the construction of the revolver and so carefully are the lenses adjusted that the eye-pieces may be changed while a specimen is in focus on the microscope stage without a readjustment of the focus.

The revolving eye-piece is also particularly well adapted to use as a micrometer ocular, for when the eye lens is turned aside a micrometer scale may be inserted and rests upon the diaphragm of the eye-piece. Once adjusted in this way the micrometer values are the same for all the eye lenses of the combination.

## Stands.

For the past thirty years division of labor has been employed to the utmost possible extent in the manufacture of our microscopes. This principle has been applied to our machinery as well as to our workmen, with the result that we have gradually accumulated a large plant of special machinery of the most accurate construction, each machine especially adapted to the manufacture of some particular part of our microscopes. By this development of mechanical appliances for microscope manufacture two ends have been attained:—The greatest accuracy and uniformity of construction of our microscopes has been made possible, while at the same time it has been possible to cheapen the cost of manufacture. Instruments which are the product of delicate machinery must always be more uniform, more accurate and should be less costly than those manufactured by hand.

In the following remarks we refer more particularly to the larger microscope stands of our manufacture and draw attention to those parts which should be present in every well equipped microscope.

The elements of these microscopes are:

1. The foot and upright support with joint for inclination,
2. The stage,
3. The sub-stage, with condenser, iris diaphragm and mirror,
4. The body with the adjustments,
5. The tube, carrying eye-piece, nose-piece and objectives.

1. The foot and upright support are solid and are of such weight and shape as to permit inclination of the body of the microscope to a horizontal position. The foot is horse-shoe shaped and is made to touch the table at three points, thus insuring stability even on a surface which is not entirely level. Inclination of the body of the microscope is permitted by a joint in the upright, which joint[17] may be fastened in the larger stands by a set-screw operated by a lever. Stands Ia and IIb are also made with the English foot. Abundant space is left under the stage for the various attachments of the sub-stage.

2. The stage of Stands A, I, Ia and II is round, revolving and centering. The centering arrangement consists of two small thumb-screws so situated at the sides of the stage as to control motion of the stage in all directions, thus to a limited extent serving the purpose of a mechanical stage.

The other microscope stands have square immovable stages, sufficiently large for general microscopic work. For the examination of very large sections two instruments are manufactured: the Nebelthau sliding microscope (p. 50) and the stand after Dölken (p. 52). The former is for magnifications up to 120 diam, whereas the latter can be used with any magnification.

3. The sub-stage carries a plane and concave mirror, the condenser and the diaphragm for regulating the illumination of the object.

The Condenser is so adjusted as to concentrate the rays of light about 2 mm above its surface, which is the average thickness of the microscopic slides, under an angle equal to the angular aperture of the highest power objective, which is about 120°.

In the lower power objectives the angular aperture is to be reduced by the iris diaphragm.

To focus the Condenser properly it is adjustable by rack and pinion movement on Stands A, I, Ia, Ib, and by side screw on Stands II and IIa.

4. The body of the microscope carries the tube and is fitted with two adjustments for focussing; a coarse adjustment and a fine adjustment. The smooth working of these adjustments is one of the chief requirements of a good microscope.

The coarse adjustment consists of rack and pinion and moves the tube of the microscope in a vertical groove with the least possible friction. The teeth of the rack and pinion are set obliquely to the axis of the tube and are so adjusted that two teeth of each are always interlocked, thus avoiding all possibility of slipping or loss of motion in the movement.[18]

#### Figure of the Micrometer-screw of the fine adjustment.

The fine adjustment consists of a micrometer screw which moves the tube and arm of the microscope supporting the coarse adjustment vertically upon a triangular column. This column is virtually a continuation upward of the upright support of the base of the microscope. Around the column is a broad collar so accurately fitted that it moves smoothly upon it with a minimum of friction and still without lateral motion, the movement being controlled by means of a micrometer screw at the top of the column. The head of this micrometer screw, a section of which is shown in the accompanying figure, is milled and is graduated in such a way as to indicate the exact degree of motion of the microscope tube which is accomplished by turning the micrometer screw, each division of the graduation corresponding to a motion of the tube through 1/100 millimeter, and a complete revolution of the screw corresponding to a motion of the tube through ½ millimeter. The accuracy of this adjustment and the smoothness of its motion must be conceded to be a triumph of mechanical skill.

Stands A. and I. are fitted with a new fine adjustment device (one division on the micrometer screw corresponding to 1/1000 mm.) which is fully described on pages 25-26.

5. The tube of the microscope encloses a second tube, or draw-tube, which latter carries the eye-piece, and is so graduated as to indicate the exact length of tube in use at any time. The lower end of the tube has a thread into which the various objectives or a nose-piece screw. Tube and objectives are provided with the so-called "Society screw".

The nose-piece has now become an almost indispensable part of a working microscope. It can, however, be used to best advantage only on such stands as are provided with a coarse adjustment by rack and pinion. Aside from the advantage derived from the[19] rapid changing of objectives, which it permits, it is so accurately made and centered as to materially facilitate the focussing of the various objectives. It is only necessary to focus with the fine adjustment to obtain a view of the same microscope field which had been under observation before the change was made.

As it is necessary for this purpose that the objectives should be accurately adjusted to the nose-piece, it is very desirable that in ordering an instrument its nose-piece should be ordered at the same time if one is to be used, as subsequent ordering may necessitate the return of the stand and objectives to us.

Stands A, I, Ia, Ib, II, IIa, IIb and III are those which are best suited to fine microscopical investigations. Among them the physician and bacteriologist will find an instrument entirely suited to his particular needs.

Stand III is now provided with rack and pinion adjustment.

Stands IV and V are small instruments, which serve nevertheless many purposes where the more elaborate outfits are unnecessary. They make excellent laboratory stands for elementary courses in microscopy.

In Stands IV and V the coarse adjustment is by means of sliding tube. They are all provided with fine adjustment by micrometer screw.

Stand VI is provided with rack and pinion adjustment only. It has a large stage, and is particularly intended for searching for trichinae and for similar examinations where a very strong durable stand is desired and where the use of high power objectives is unnecessary. It may also be useful as an auxiliary stand for purposes of demonstration in laboratories.

Stands III, IV, V, VI have no joint for inclining the body.

Stands A, I, Ia, Ib, II, IIa, IIb, III, IV have mahogany cases (provided with a nickelled handle), in which the microscopes stand.

Stands V and VI are laid in mahogany boxes.

These cases are furnished with the microscopes without extra charge, when a complete outfit, including oculars and objectives is purchased.

Object clamps and test objects accompany every microscope.

The objectives to Stands A, I, Ia, Ib, II, IIa, IIb are in brass boxes; those for Stands III, IV, V and VI are in morocco cases.

## Illuminating Apparatus.

#### a. Illuminating Apparatus of Stands A and I.

The apparatus includes the following parts:

Cylinder iris diaphragm.
Swing-out condenser.
Diaphragm carrier with iris diaphragm.
Plane and concave mirror.

The cylinder iris diaphragm comes into play when the condenser is swung out of position. To do this the diaphragm carrier is turned to the side as shown in the diagram, a small knob is pressed, which liberates the condenser, and the latter is swung out to the side.

The regulation of the cylinder iris diaphragm is accomplished by means of a lever. Before the condenser is swung back into position the cylinder iris should be opened to its fullest extent. The lower iris diaphragm is for use in connection with the condenser only. It is regulated by means of a small knob. A horizontal rack and pinion arrangement permits oblique illumination, and a vertical rack and pinion permits adjustment of the whole sub-stage. By these means a most perfect control of the illumination of the object is assured. Ground or colored glass discs may be inserted above the iris diaphragm if modification of the light is desired.

$30.—

This illuminating apparatus may also be fitted to Stands Ia and Ib.[21]

#### Abbe's Illuminating Apparatus for Stand A and I.
Swing-out Condenser.
Cylinder Iris Diaphragm.

[22]

#### b. Illuminating Apparatus of Stands Ia and Ib (p. 30, 32, 34).

The following are the parts of this apparatus:

Cylinder diaphragm with 3 stops of different apertures.
Condenser.
Diaphragm carrier with iris diaphragm.
Plane and concave mirror.

To substitute the condenser for the cylinder diaphragm the diaphragm carrier is turned to the side and the cylinder diaphragm is drawn out of the sleeve which holds it in position and into which the condenser readily fits. The diaphragm carrier is then turned back into position and the amount of light regulated by manipulating the knob controlling the size of the iris. The whole sub-stage may be raised or lowered in the optical axis by means of a rack and pinion, and a similar arrangement permits lateral illumination by moving the iris diaphragm in the horizontal plane.

Ground glass and colored plates may be inserted above the iris diaphragm.

$24.—

#### c. Illuminating Apparatus for Stand II and IIa (p. 36 & 38).

The condenser and iris diaphragm form one piece, giving central but no oblique illumination. The whole apparatus may be raised and lowered in the optical axis by means of a screw. The cylinder diaphragm may be inserted in place of the condenser. A ring below the iris diaphragm permits the insertion of glass discs for the purpose of modifying the light.

$12.—

#### d. Illuminating apparatus for Stand IIb (p. 40).

The same as for II and IIa fitted in a fixed sleeve; without the side-screw.

#### e. Small Illuminating Apparatus.

#### Small Illuminating Apparatus.

The small illuminating apparatus consists of a somewhat smaller condenser with iris diaphragm and can be adjusted to the Stand IV, when it has the cylinder diaphragm.

#### Stand A.—Universal Microscope.

[25]

### Stand "A".

#### Universal Microscope.

In the construction of our new stand "A" we have taken special care to enlarge all the parts proportionately in order to secure strength and stability, at the same time adding to the beauty of the instrument.

The upper pillar of the microscope is shaped in such a way as to form a convenient handle; and to increase the free working space over the stage, thereby allowing the examination of very large specimen and culture plates. A specially constructed mechanical stage larger than No. 98 may be attached, which is adapted for slides up to 2×4 inches (50×100 mm).

The extra large dimensions of all the main parts of this microscope such as the base and stage etc., allow that freedom of movement so desired in a stand for photo-micrography.

Both the body tube and graduated draw tube are very wide and permit the use of low power objectives to cover specimen of large extent; for the same reason the opening in the stage is very wide but can be narrowed down by a stop.

The most important innovation on the microscope is the new fine adjustment device, which is unexcelled both in solidity of construction and accuracy of movement, representing the highest attainment of the designers and mechanics skill.

Sectional cuts of this unique arrangement are shown in illustration (p. 26-27).

All that can be seen on the exterior are two small milled heads mounted below and somewhat back of the two larger knobs controlling the rack and pinion (coarse) adjustment of the microscope. The knob on the right side is provided with a graduated drum r, indicating the movement of the fine adjustment.

The two knobs with drum are mounted on an axle a, which in its central portion is enlarged and provided with a worm gear. The latter in its turn drives the gear wheel, d. A spiral spring pressing against one of the journals into which the axle is mounted prevents any lost motion in the worm gear. Mounted on the same shaft with the gear-wheel d, is a heartshaped cam f. On this cam rests the steel roller g, fitted on the support k, which in its turn carries[26] the microscope tube. By its weight and a spiral spring the latter presses on the cam f, and effects a direct vertical movement.

The periphery of the heart shaped cam f, is exactly symmetrical and mathematically correct. The distance traversed by its curved sides from the lowest to the highest point and vice versa is 3 mm. There are cut 60 teeth in the entire periphery of the gear-wheel d; the number corresponding to one side of the heart-shaped cam or 3 mm elevation, are 30 teeth, therefore 1 tooth means a movement of 3/30 mm or 0,1 mm.

This in turn requires one complete revolution of the axle a, the drum of which is graduated into 100 parts. The value of each division on the drum is therefore 0,1/100=0,001 mm.

This micrometer fine adjustment is exceedingly accurate and reliable, and besides it has the following advantages;

By virtue of its unique construction the movement is continuous, there is absolutely no limit to the motion of the micrometer screw, which may be turned forward or backward as the work requires.

This movement extends in exact ratio to the revolution of the cam for a distance of 3 mm. As another advantage we may mention, that it is almost impossible to break the coverglass of the specimen with this fine adjustment.

Should the objective come in contact with the coverglass and assuming the knob is turned still further then the tube, which is of aluminium and very light would simply rest on the specimen, without breaking the coverglass, as the latter will easily stand the small pressure of the tube and the fine spiral spring.

#### Nebelthau's Sliding Microscope.

[51]

#### Nebelthau's Sliding Microscope.

##### (Cf. Zeitschrift für wissenschaftliche Mikroskopie, XIII, 1896.)

No. 31. | The sliding microscope is an instrument by means of which very large microscope sections, as, for example, large sections of the brain, can be systematically examined. It is also of service in looking over plate cultures of bacteria. The microscope is carried on a heavy beam supported by two stout pillars under which the stage moves. The various movements are accomplished by motion of the microscope on a lateral track upon its support and by motion of the stage on a similar track at right angles to the first. The motion of the microscope is by means of a screw, that of the stage by double rack and pinion. The extent of the movements is indicated in each case by a scale, thus permitting the systematic examination of the entire specimen. The stage consists of a glass plate, measuring 16×20 cm, which is carried in a frame supported on four columns. The tracks permit a motion of the microscope of 18 cm and of the stage of 13,5 cm. A mirror under the stage affords ample illumination. The microscope tube is so arranged that it can be easily removed from the stand and a simple lens substituted for it. The coarse adjustment of the microscope is by rack and pinion. A screw above the objective serves for fine adjustment. The price of this sliding microscope, without objectives or oculars, but with a lens holder and simple lens magnifying eight diameters is | $80.—
| Flat glass dish of the same size as the stage to hold very large sections for the purpose of examining them while in clearing fluid | $1.25

[56]

#### Horizontal-Microscope.

No. 36. | Horizontal Microscope. This instrument consists of a microscope tube placed horizontally on a long extensible column, supported in turn by a tripod base provided with levelling screws and a round spirit level. The extension of the upright supporting column is accomplished by two sliding motions, the lower, controlled by a set screw only, being intended for coarser adjustments, the upper, controlled by rack and pinion, for finer adjustments. A millimeter scale and a vernier serve to indicate the degrees of the various motions, so that vertical motion of the microscope tube to the extent of 1/10 mm may be accomplished. The microscope tube carries a spirit level and revolves upon a horizontal disc. The objective, consisting of two separable doublets, permits three degrees of magnification of 5, 9 and 48 cm focal distance respectively. A rack and pinion adjustment serves as adjustment of the microscope tube. A micrometer, 1 cm long and divided into 100, in the diaphragm of the ocular still further increases the availability of the instrument for making fine and accurate measurements. The instrument serves as a useful aid in many physical and physiological investigations. Price, including objective, ocular and micrometer | $40.—

[57]

## Microscopes for Mineralogical Research.

We construct two Microscopes for mineralogical investigations. Both are adapted for determining the axes of elasticity and for the differentiation of isotropic and anisotropic bodies. Stand I alone is adapted for determining the optical axes and their angles.

Only such objectives, condensers and oculars are available for mineralogical examinations as have been shown after careful examination in polarized light to be free from polarization.

#### Mineralogical Stand I.

No. 37. | This microscope corresponds in its dimensions to Stand Ia as described on page 31. Coarse adjustment by rack and pinion, fine adjustment by micrometer-screw, the milled head of which has 50 divisions, each representing a motion of the objective of 1/100 mm. The condenser, iris-diaphragm and polarizer can be raised and lowered by rack and pinion. A triple condenser facilitates the observation of the axial lines in the microscope. It is so arranged as to be easily replaced by a simple diaphragm-carrier. By means of a collar attached to the end of the tube the objective is brought into coincidence with the centre of the revolving stage. This revolving stage is divided into 360 degrees and fitted with a vernier and index. Two scales on the stage, at right angles to each other, permit accurate location of specimens. The Nicol prism, which serves as a polarizer, can, after turning the iris-diaphragm aside, be drawn out from under the latter. The zero position of the Nicol prism is indicated by a line, as well as the angles 90, 180, 270°. The analyser is mounted in metal and is firmly fixed above the eye-piece. The analyser rotates on a disc graduated to 360 deg. The front of the tube has a movable window which provides access to the inner tube. In the latter is an opening for the introduction of a Bertrand lens. This lens serves the purpose of magnifying the interference figures produced by the converging rays of polarized light. This lens and the eye-piece can be raised or lowered by rack and pinion. In the analyzer is a slide for the insertion of gypsum and quartz plates at an angle of 45 degrees. In many investigations it is advisable to employ an analyzer introduced laterally into the tube, instead of the one mentioned above. The following parts are supplied to complete the outfit: |
| Triple nose-piece. Eye-piece 0, with Bertrand's quartered quartz plate. Eye-piece I with cross-lines, Brezina's Calcspath-plate, cleft perpendicularly to its axis, made to fit over eye-piece I, Klein's gypsum and quartz plates for insertion in the opening over the objective. Price of the stand with these accessories | $160.—

[59]

No. 38. | The same with eye-piece III, objectives 1, 3, 5, 7. 1/12 Oil-Immersion, magnifications 18—800 | $236.—
| The new mechanical stage No. 98 (See page 78) can be fitted to the stand for the purpose of investigating large preparations and serial sections. Price | $28.—

[60]

#### Mineralogical Stand II.

[61]

### Mineralogical Stand II.

No. 39. | The base and pillar are in one piece, neatly japanned black. The coarse adjustment is by rack and pinion. The stage is revolving and graduated on the edge into 360 degrees. A pointer indicates its position. The polarizer has stop at zeropoint and also marks at 90°, 180° and 270°. It is held in a spring-sleeve and the substage can be raised and lowered by lateral screw, or may be swung to one side. The condenser is mounted in separate arm above the polarizer and swings out of the optical axis by means of a lever, if parallel instead of convergent rays are desired. The analyzer fits into an opening of the tube above the objectives and can be instantly thrown in or out of the optical axis. There is a slot below the analyzer for the insertion of quartz and gypsum plates. By means of a collar with two centering screws attached to the end of the tube, the objective may be brought into the optical axis. Price of this microscope with eye-piece I with cross-lines, Klein's quartz wedge and gypsum plate, red, I. order | $56.—

No. 40. | The same with eye-piece III. and objectives 3 and 5. Magnifications 60-250 | $74.—

#### Dissecting microscope with erected image after R. Pfeiffer.

The Dissecting microscope with erected image according to Prof. R. Pfeiffer has been constructed in such a way that all parts extending on both sides can be folded or turned, so that the instrument fits in a very small case.

The base consists of two parts which may be folded. The stage can be brought in a position vertical to the optical axis and the metal hand rests laid on top of the stage. They are connected with the latter by joints. The mirror can also be turned and put parallel to the pillar.

A round glassplate is set in the stage, below which is an iris diaphragm to properly regulate the illumination.

The adjustment is by rack and pinion.

Two rightangle prisms are mounted inside the tube in such a manner that the image obtained by the objective is reflected into the eye-piece and appears erected.

The eye-piece is of the Ramsden form. Three objectives of different magnifying power with specially long working-distances have been constructed Nos. 1, 2, 3.[65]

The following table shows the magnification of the objectives in connection with the eye-piece.

[74]

## Drawing Apparatus.

The two following drawing eye-pieces Nos. 92 and 93, have quickly found favor among those having frequent occasion to make drawings from microscopic preparations and are now largely used in educational institutions as an aid to students in the study of their specimens. In both eye-pieces the prism is so adjusted as to accomplish total reflection of the image, thus doing away with loss of light and with secondary reflections, such disturbing features of those forms of drawing apparatus of which a mirror forms an essential part.

No. 92. | This drawing eye-piece is employed with the stand in the vertical position. The reflected image lies at the side of the microscope, the rays passing off at an acute angle from the reflecting prism near the top of the eye-piece. The eye-piece slips into the tube of the microscope like any ordinary eye-piece and is held in position by a thumb-screw. The drawing field is at once visible without further adjustment, and the picture is clear and sharp. The brightness of the drawing field may be regulated by smoked glass plates mounted in two moveable metal arms | $8.—

[75]

#### Drawing eye-piece for drawing with inclined stand.

No. 93. | This drawing eye-piece is similar in construction to that just described, but is so arranged as to throw the image vertically downwards behind the microscope when the latter is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees. In this case also the picture reflected is clear and sharp, devoid of all disturbing secondary images. As the image is reflected vertically downwards upon the table, no special drawing stand is necessary as there is no distortion of the picture. The intensity of the light may be modified by smoked glass plates mounted in two moveable metal arms | $10.—

For a description of these drawing eye-pieces and of the principles involved in their construction reference may be had to the Zeitschrift für wissenschaftliche Mikroskopie, XII, 1895.

[76]

#### Abbe's Drawing Apparatus.

No. 94. | In Abbe's Drawing Apparatus the drawing field is reflected by a mirror at the side of the instrument and by a prism which fits over the eye-piece of the microscope. The prism is supported on a vertical hinge so that it may be readily turned out of the axis of the microscope without disconnecting the whole apparatus from the stand. It is shown turned to the side in the figure. A cylindrical cap accompanies the apparatus which fits over the prism holder and has six lateral windows in which are smoked glasses of various intensity, serving to regulate the lightness of the reflected drawing field | $12.—

#### Drawing Board No. 95. Drawing Board after Giesenhagen.

The Drawing boards serve two purposes. They afford a smooth plane surface for the drawing paper and they are so arranged that they may be inclined at such an angle as to receive the rays of the reflected[77] image at right angle to their surface, thus doing away with any distortion of the image on the paper.

No. 95. | This drawing board is especially adapted for use with drawing eye-piece No. 92. When in the position indicated in the figure its drawing surface forms an angle of 12° to the horizontal | $2.—
No. 96. | In Giesenhagen's drawing board the drawing surface may be adjusted at various angles and may be raised and lowered | $4.—

For drawing eye-piece No. 93 and the Abbe drawing apparatus the surface of the drawing board should be horizontal.

#### Drawing apparatus after v. Tubeuf.

No. 97. | The drawing apparatus after v. Tubeuf serves for drawing objects from nature. By means of a prism mounted in a metal box, the object is reflected into the eye in such a manner that its image appears erected on the drawing surface. This is quite an advantage when drawing from nature but is unimportant when using a drawing apparatus on the microscope. Two smoked glasses mounted in moveable metal arms serve to moderate the intensity of the light. On the side of the prism nearest the eye is a small wheel diaphragm attached to regulate the size of the opening. The apparatus is mounted on a heavy nickel-plated stand with vertical and lateral adjustments controlled by thumb-screws | $12.—

[78]

## Mechanical Stages.

#### Mechanical stage No. 98.

No. 98. | Mechanical stage adapted to Stands I, Ia and Ib. The stage is readily attached to the microscope by means of a small screw, C, which screws into a thread in the microscope just behind its stage, and binds the mechanical stage firmly in position and always in the same position. It may be again removed by simply unscrewing this set screw. The movements of the stage are at right angles to one another, are accomplished by carefully constructed rack and pinion adjustments and the exact position of each adjustment is indicated by vernier scales. The extent of the lateral movement is 50 mm; that of the other 30 mm. This stage permits the careful and systematic examination of large specimens and its construction is so perfect that by means of the vernier scales the most minute objects may be readily replaced in the field of vision, even after removal and readjustment of the stage, provided only that their location when in the field of vision as indicated by the scales had been noted | $28.—
No. 99. | Large mechanical stage for stand, A, adapted for slides 50×100 mm; both movements by rack and pinion adjustments | $32.—

[79]

#### Mechanical stage No. 100.

No. 100. | Mechanical Stage No. 100. When a mechanical stage is ordered subsequently to a microscope outfit and under such circumstances that its correct adjustment to the stand by a skillful mechanic is impossible we advise the purchase of this more readily adjusted mechanical stage, which may readily be attached to Stands I, Ia, Ib, IIa and IIb by means of a thumb-screw. It is as carefully constructed as Mechanical Stage No. 98 and serves the same purpose in every particular | $28.—
No. 100a. | New Mechanical stage, simplified form | $20.—

#### Mechanical stage No. 100a.

[80]

No. 101. | Warm stage after Schultze. This consists of a metal stage to which long lateral arms are attached, through which the heat from one or more small lamps is conducted to the central part of the stage and the object. The apparatus is also provided with a condenser, which affords illumination sufficient for the use of high power objectives, and with a thermometer indicating the exact temperature of the centre of the stage, which may be carried as high as 100° C. | $12.—

#### Schultze's Warm Stage No. 101.

No. 102. | Warm stage after Pfeiffer. It consists of a glass chamber through which warm water may be made to flow. A small cell is ground in its surface thus permitting its use as a moist chamber | $6.—
No. 103. | Warm stage after Stricker. This stage consists of a metal chamber, through which warm water is made to flow when in use, and is provided also with a condenser and thermometer. It may be screwed firmly to any of the square microscope stages | $14.—

[81]

#### Stricker's Warm stage No. 103.

No. 104. | Warm stage after Errera, permitting rapid changes from low to high temperature and vice-versa. It includes 2 vessels for cold and hot water, mounted on tripods, with rubber-tubing etc. | $24.—

## Photo-micrographic Apparatus.

#### Photo-micrographic Apparatus No. 105.

[82]

The method of employing this apparatus and the general technique of photo-micrography are treated of in a separate pamphlet containing also four photo-micrographs taken with this apparatus.

This little work is furnished with each apparatus.

No. 105. | The Photo-micrographic Apparatus consists of a heavy iron foot supporting a stout column in which another iron support moves vertically. This latter holds the camera and may be firmly fixed at any height by means of a thumb-screw. This permits the accurate adjustment of the camera to microscope stands of various sizes. The length of the camera is also adjustable by means of a thumb-screw sliding in the upright support. Regulation of the field of the camera is accomplished by a revolving disc diaphragm with openings of five different sizes situated in the neck of the camera. Two simple plate-holders for plates 9×12 and 13×18 cm are supplied with each camera, as are also a ground glass plate and clear glass plate in the frame of the camera serve to catch the picture in the plane of the photographic plate, and a simple lens aids in obtaining a correct focus of the image. A white glass plate, mounted on a stand is of use in diffusing direct sunlight so as to make it available for photographic purposes, and three discs of yellow, blue and green glass are provided which may be inserted over the iris-diaphragm of the condenser when colored light is required. It is of great advantage to interpose an illuminating lens between the source of light and the mirror, thereby condensing the light-rays, giving a uniform illumination and preventing the heating up of the entire stand, which is a disturbing factor in retaining the focus. The illuminating lens also serves to lessen the time of exposure. This photo-micrographic apparatus is also available when it is desired to photograph gross specimens as, for example, embryos, insects, etc., by reflected light, as is represented in the figure on p. 86. The photographic objective of 64 mm focal distance, is best adapted to this purpose. It fits in a collar in the neck of the camera and yields a magnified image of about 3 diameters. The object is brought into proper focus by means of a small stand, the table of which may be raised or lowered as required. Price of the apparatus without microscope stand | $40.—
No. 106. | Small stand for supporting specimens to be photographed by reflected light as mentioned above | $4.75
No. 107. | Welsbach lamp with reflector | $6.—
No. 108. | Illuminating lens of 100 mm diam. on stand | $12.—
No. 109. | Photo-micrographic apparatus, for use in horizontal and vertical position. It is in construction similar to the foregoing, but is provided with joint for inclination and clamping lever, and can be used at any angle. Large size bellows and plateholder, for plates up to 24×24 cm. Moveable platform with three leveling screws and clamping-bar for holding stand. Price of the apparatus, with 2 simple plate-holders, ground and plain glass plate, etc., without microscope stand | $60.—

### Edinger's Projection Apparatus.

#### Edinger's Projection Apparatus with Nieser's Photographic Camera.

[85]

No. 110. | Edinger's Projection Apparatus—For projecting and drawing large objects slightly magnified. (Cf. Zeitschrift für wissensch. Mikroskopie. VIII. 1891.) A polished wooden base, in which a lime wood drawing tablet is inlaid, supports a wooden stand which in turn holds a horizontal metal tube in which are a collecting lens and a reflecting mirror. The upright also carries, two arms, by rack and pinion adjustment, the one supporting the object stage, the other regulating the length of the camera. On the other side of the upright is a support for a lamp. The rays of this lamp are converged by the collecting lens upon the mirror, are reflected downward to the object and through the objective to the drawing board below. The various adjustments permit considerable variation of magnification with the same objective. Price, including lamp | $18.—

For photographic purposes this same apparatus may be had with Nieser's photographic camera, plate holders, focussing plate etc.

No. 111. | Edinger's Projection Apparatus with Camera for plates 9×12 cm and 13×18 cm | $38.—
No. 112. | Larger Projection Apparatus with Camera for plates 9×12, 13×18, 18×24 and 24×30 cm | $56.—

## Large Projection Apparatus.

In this projection apparatus an electric projection lamp is made use of, the lamp being available for electric currents of 20 Ampères and about 48 Volts. To regulate the current a rheostat is necessary. When using constant current the carbons should stand at an angle in order to utilize to best advantage the stronger light of the positive (upper) carbon. For spectroscopic projections the carbons of the lamp have to be in vertical position.

Connected with the lamp is a triple condenser of 150 mm aperture. The latter should be protected from the heat-rays by a large mica-plate which is furnished with the apparatus.

Various devices permit very accurate adjustment of the lamp and condenser. For example, two thumb-screws control the position of the carbons of the lamp so that the luminous point may be readily brought into the exact optical axis of the condenser. Again, the two inner lenses of the condenser are moveable and are controlled by two knobs conveniently situated as shown in the illustration.

By this adjustment of the lenses of the condenser it is possible to do away with disturbing chromatic aberration. The rays of light leave the condenser in moderate convergence.

For direct projection from the preparation the apparatus consists of the optical bench upon which are mounted the various accessories in proper succession (Fig. p. 88):

1. A large cooling cell, which is to be filled with water or alum solution.

2. The bellows with tube. This is connected with the cooling cell by means of a metal ring which slips over the end of the cell and is held in place by a screw. The metal ring is attached to one end of the bellows, while the other end carries a large tube.

3. The microscope condensers and diaphragm holder. A larger tube fits over the tube of the bellows and carries on a revolving arm the cylinder diaphragm and the two condensers. For low power objectives Nos. 1-3, the cylinder diaphragm and the condenser of longer focus have to be used. The latter at the same time serves as the objective for lantern slide projection.[88]

The other condenser is especially needed when high powers are employed (Objectives 4 to 6). A small rack and pinion arrangement serves for the adjustment of condenser and diaphragm.

4. The object stage and small cooler. The stage has connected with it a second cooling cell on which the preparation rests. This arrangement permits prolonged use of the condenser and the greatest intensity of light without burning the most delicate specimens. The adjustment of the object is accomplished by means of an arrangement which permits any particular point to be brought accurately into the field.

5. The objective carrier is provided with a nose-piece for three objectives, with a broad projection tube, having an Iris diaphragm for the purpose of narrowing the aperture, and with a narrow tube which screws into the broad one, in case it is desired to use oculars in making the projection. The adjustments of the objectives are accomplished by rack and pinion and by micrometer screw.

In order to change readily from microscopic to lantern-slide projection, the parts 4 and 5 have been provided with hinges, by means of which they can be thrown to one side after loosening a lever (see illustration below).[89]

6. Wooden cover with cloth curtain which fits over the diaphragm carrier, the stage and the objectives, to shut off any light which may escape at the sides.

For the projection of large preparations of from 8-35 mm diameter our photographic objectives of 24, 35, 42 and 64 mm focal distance are best adapted (p. 86). In connection with these low powers the large tube only should be used.

With this projection apparatus the powers of microscope objectives till number 6 may be well employed.

The picture, even when the highest powers are made use of, and the screen is at a distance of twelve feet from the apparatus, is of sufficient clearness and brightness to be available for demonstration to a large audience.

For the projection of lantern slides or of large section of tissue following parts of the apparatus are required: Lamp, condenser, cooler and bellows are the same as in the above described apparatus.[90]

The stage and objective carrier are swung to one side.

The special-projection lens of 300 mm focal distance is to be used.

A slide carrier slips into the frame of the bellows, which is sufficiently large to accommodate lantern slides 9×10 and 9×12 cm in size. The slide carrier has a stop at both ends which facilitates its adjustment in the axis of the instrument, and is arranged for the simultaneous reception of two slides, so that while one is being projected it may be charged with a second which may then without delay be pushed into the optical axis as the first is removed. In this way series of pictures may be thrown on the screen without interruption.

When so arranged the projection can be made upon a screen 30 feet from the apparatus, over the heads of an audience.

## Microtomes.

#### Large Sliding-Microtome.

Our larger microtomes are heavy and all their adjustments are of the most accurate construction, the result being that they are very steady when in use and permit the cutting of very thin and uniform sections.[93]

They are to be had in three different sizes. The larger two are slightly different in construction from the third. The two former microtomes are provided with an automatic feed attachement. A heavy knife-carrier slides smoothly and rapidly on a horizontal track and is so arranged that it may be manipulated by the hand of the operator alone or by a wheel and chain device, which tends to assure a perfectly uniform stroke of the knife.

The objectclamp is raised vertically by a micrometer screw. This motion is accomplished by turning a large disc having teeth cut into its periphery and a turn of one tooth being equal to an elevation of 0.0025 mm.

The automatic feed is arranged as follows: With each return of the knife-carrier to the end of its track pressure is made upon an adjustable lever which regulates the motion of the micrometer wheel. This device may be so adjusted as to move the micrometer disc any number of teeth from one to ten with each sweep of the knife.

Three different forms of clamps may be had for these microtomes, and freezing apparatus as well as paraffin tables can also be fitted.

The Fixed clamp, No. 128, represented in the figure of the large sliding microtome, serves to clamp the specimen in position and does not allow any further adjustment.

The Ball and Socket clamp permits the adjustments of the specimen after it is held in the clamp by means of a ball and socket joint—see figure of No. 129—a set-screw then holds it firmly in position.

The Naples clamp permits the accurate adjustment of the specimen at any level, the clamp being supported on two horizontal axes at right angles to each other, the one controlled by rack and pinion, the other by endless screw.

The knife-carrier is arranged to hold the Thoma form knives, which are fastened by means of a wing-screw. Other knives require a special holder, such as No. 139.[94]

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg
Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
