Description

Set-up camera for Wild microscope, consisting of a holder for 24 mm roll film (SM 502.1), which has serial number 11363. Provided with a cover plate for the film, so it is possible to exchange the roll film holder for one with a different type of film.
The shutter unit (SM 502.4) with the viewing eyepiece should be coupled to the film holder, as should the exposure meter (SM 502.2).

Information from Wild is scarce; possibly this is a set-up camera for their M4 and M5 stereo microscopes

Donated to the foundation by Jef Schoors, secretary of the Royal Antwerp Society for Micrography.
