AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnifying glass for a scientific laboratory, made in England, dating from around the late 19th to early 20th century.
The lens is called 'bull's-eye' and is characterized by a convex shape. They were designed to concentrate and direct light from an external source (such as a candle or oil lamp) onto an object, making it brighter and more visible.
They were common in the context of early microscopes. The lens is mounted on a brass support with the ability to adjust height and angle. The support rests on a base weighted with lead.
The lens is free of scratches.
The support is in good condition with small signs of wear due to age and use.
Dimensions: Rod length 14 cm (21 cm at maximum extension); base circumference 7 cm; lens circumference 4 cm.
Shipped via courier with tracking.
