The substage carries its condenser in a centerable mount and focuses by diagonal rack and pinion controlled on the left side of the microscope, though some examples have it on the right side. There is a 'Campbell' Differential screw fine focus to the substage, controlled at the bottom of the tailpiece. There is rack and pinion rotation to the substage, a feature no longer offered in the catalog on the Nelson No 2 as of 1898.
