BULLOCH NEW STUDENT MICROSCOPE ADVERTISEMENT

DATES: c. 1885

Bulloch New Student microscope Ad


This instrument, apparently the second of three or four known 'student' designs by Bulloch, is not listed in the 1878 catalog, the 1890 catalog or the 1879 list from Frey. The only engravings of it appear in the English translation of 'The Microscope in Botany' by Behrens, published in 1885 and in the above advertisement in 'The Microscope, an Illustrated Monthly Journal' from the same year. In that ad, the microscope retailed with an eyepiece and case, but no objectives for $30, with objectives $50-$60; the 'sliding object carrier' was an extra $3.50. By the 1890 catalog, the Student microscope was a much simpler and cheaper model (see the Bulloch Microscope Evolution Page for more details on various models).
