P & L orig microscope

eyepiece on scopeThere are two original eyepieces with this microscope. Each has a removeable cap that locks in place via a pin on the main body of the eyepiece. This ensures the eyepiece comes out when one pulls up on the cap, and also allows one to remove the cap and replace it with an eyepiece cap analyzer or a camera lucida. The pin also prevents the eyepieces from being inserted too far into the tube of the microscope.
