FIG. II.

Delineation of the newly invented microscope.

The structure or receptacle of my new microscope is presented to the eyes in Fig. II. It consists of four tubes, and at the summit, near the eye where the vision takes place, it is equipped with a small cannula so that it can be elongated or shortened according to the proportion of each individual eye. Moreover, in the upper part of the tripod base, there is a screw by which it can be raised or lowered according to the height of the subject. These are the foundation of its positioning and direction. At the bottom, however, a certain stage is adorned in such a way that it serves to accommodate flies, gnats, fleas, lice, and even textures, seeds, and various smaller bodies, suitably and conveniently for observation.

A decorative floral ornament sits at the bottom of the text block.
