An antique pedagogical laboratory microscope, consisting of a large brass optical tube mounted on a frame and a wooden base.

Its simple and robust construction suits a tool intended for teaching and scientific observation. It shows signs of wear and a patina consistent with its age. Estimated dating: first half of the 20th century, around 1920–1950. Rare and decorative object, highly appreciated by collectors of antique scientific instruments (magnetic compass, drawing compass, spyglass, magnifier, sextant).
