Description

Two monocular compound microscopes of varying scales. The larger instrument is a Motic model SFC-3AF biological microscope featuring a cream-painted cast metal frame. It comprises a monocular body tube with a WF10X eyepiece and a triple revolving nosepiece holding three objective lenses, one marked 4/0.10. The instrument is equipped with a rectangular black stage with twin slide clips, coarse and fine rack-and-pinion focusing knobs, and a sub-stage plane-concave mirror for illumination. The body tube is printed with the maker’s name Motic and the model number SFC-3AF. The second instrument is a junior Merit Students Microscope No. 2, constructed with a black crinkle-finish frame and a chrome-plated body tube. It features a single objective lens, a small stage with clips, and a sub-stage mirror. The body tube bears a circular orange and black label reading MERIT. This smaller microscope is accompanied by its original cardboard retail box, printed in black with the maker’s name MERIT and manufacturer details J & L RANDALL LTD, alongside specifications for 70X magnification.
