An unsigned antique continental style monocular microscope, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The instrument is constructed with a lacquered brass body and a telescoping draw-tube for coarse focusing, mounted on a pivoting arm to allow for adjustable viewing angles. The assembly is supported by a heavy, black-enamelled cast iron horseshoe-style base. It features a fixed square stage equipped with two brass slide clips and a sub-stage, double-sided plane and concave mirror on a swivelling gimbal. The lot includes one detached circular brass sub-stage component, likely a diaphragm. No maker’s name, hallmarks, or serial numbers are engraved on the instrument. No carrying case or additional lenses are present.
