A Constant Verick, 'Mòdele No. 7' Microscope. Paris, France, circa 1880. The microscope is signed in block letters on the arm: 'C. VERICK, PARIS.' It arises on a single pillar bolted on to a horseshoe foot. Coarse focus is by simply sliding the tube in the sleeve. Fine focus is a continental fine threaded screw acting on the arm via the tightly sprung triangular bar inside the pillar. The gimballed mirror attaches to a doubly articulating tailpiece under the stage. It is entirely lacquered brass except for the dark-green-painted foot and the black stage and mirror supports. There is a single drawtube, and a blackened wheel of apertures under the stage.

Wear and scratches, consistent with age.
