At the bottom of the limb a block with the mechanism for coarse and fine focussing, acting on the stage. There is a square stage with chamfered corners, with a mechanical stage with coaxial controls. Below the stage the condenser. In the base plate is a circular recess in which the mirror can be placed, here there is a simple illuminator with a light bulb that can be directly connected to the mains. Below the limb the quadruple objective changer. On top of the limb various heads can be mounted, monocular, binocular and tri-ocular heads were available. This specimen is provided with a simple monocular eye tube.
This microscope was kindly given to the foundation by prof. dr. T.M. Starink, a dermatologist with great expertise in dermatopathology.
