Description from the seller

Monocular microscope E. Leitz Wetzlar, early 1900s. Serial No. 104633 present on the instrument and clearly impressed on the lid of the box. Housed in its original wooden box, with an antique lock and handle, it has a small piece missing from the top, as shown in the penultimate photo. Present is a brass eyepiece kept in a suitable holder, an optical condenser, and an analyzer. One of the most interesting features of this microscope is the delicate micrometric adjustment system of the specimen stage, a truly special detail and perfectly functioning. The turret of the microscope bears, on the front, the name of the manufacturer, E. Leitz Wetzlar. Just below this inscription we can see the serial number of the instrument.
