BULLOCH STUDENT MICROSCOPE 'SLIDING OBJECT CARRIER'

DATES: c. 1885

The slide carrier differs from those seen with the more expensive Bulloch models. Instead of being held down by an ivory-tipped prong from above, it is held down by its two springy brass extensions which grasp the stage from the underside. This slide-carrier rides on four ivory prongs on the top of the stage, and two on the bottom, one built into the thicker tip of each of the the springy brass supports. A small projection of the left side of the carrier serves to register the left side of a slide.
