The primary instrument is a monocular microscope by Hearson, London, constructed with a black-enamelled horseshoe-style cast metal base and limb with a brass body tube.

This instrument is housed in its original fitted mahogany transit case with a brass carry handle, internal wooden blocks, and felt padding.
The secondary instrument is an S.E.L. No. 2 Student Microscope, manufactured by Signalling Equipment Ltd., England. It features a black crinkle-finish frame and a chrome-plated draw tube. It is contained within its original illustrated cardboard box, which indicates a magnification of 70X.
