Historical Compound Microscope Diagram - Labeled Anatomy & Educational Use #177510 (License: Personal Use)

This high-detail black-and-white engraving depicts a classic monocular compound microscope, likely from the late 1800s, with all major components labeled A through J-including the foot (A), stage (B), objective turret (C), coarse focus (D), arm (E), fine focus (F), inclination joint (G), eyepiece (H), substage condenser (I), and mirror (J). The illustration reflects period-accurate design with brass fittings, rack-and-pinion focusing, and a plano-concave mirror for illumination. It serves as both a technical reference and historical artifact in the evolution of scientific instrumentation.

Used in educational web pages, museum digital exhibits, or science history articles to illustrate the anatomy and operation of early microscopes; targets students, educators, historians, and collectors seeking accurate visual references for pre-modern optical instruments.
