A Stand (Fig. 4)
The Carrier (A 18), mainly mode of cost iron
ports, is rigidly mounted to the box-shaped Bose
(A 22). This rests with four shock-reducing rub-
ber feet on the surface supporting the instru-
ment. It contains (] port of the illuminating
system for transmitted light (Fig. 2 and 3). The
Carrier is portly enclosed by a metal cover (A
16). In the upper port of it s interior it contains
the camero
space and in the lower the remain-
der of the ports for transillumination 0$ well as
the system for epi-iliumination. On the outside
of the metal cover, at its lower end, are three
ring dovetails (A 20 and A 21), for attadlment
of the light sources; the third, opposite (A 21),
is not visible in the illustration.
In addition, the Carrier and metal cover corry
mounting devices
(A 1) for the Photo Heads
(A 5) for the Tube- or luminar Heads, and
(A 9) on the pinion box: for stages and con-
densers for transillumination 5

The Camera
The upper part of the interior of the carrier
with metal caver constitutes the camera. The
image
is projected, by means of twa mirrors
(Fig. 2 and 3) upon the focusing screen (8 7)
mounted in the front wall of the instrument
above the Tube Head. The camero length is
changed by horizontally displacing t he mirrors.
Bath of them rest
an a mirror carriage (A 2)
which can be adjusted by a knob (A 17) extend·
ing laterally from the caver wall. Through this
adjustment the camero length can be doubled.
An advantage of the arrangement is that with
relatively small dimensions a considerable
variation
in camero length is achieved. The
range with the Compound Microscope is 50 to
SO cm., for survey photographs with the Simple
Microscope
SO to 110 cm.
On the shaft of knob (A 17) for setting the
camera length are placed interchangeable rings
(A 32) which bear marks for the rapid setting
of specific magnifications. The respective marks
must lie
in contact with the lower edge of the
window, like the third ring
(A 32), in Fig. 4. There
are three such rings for the Compound Micros·
cape. They are distinguished by blade: numbers.
There
is one for each of the three positions of
the
OPTOVAR (E 18). The relation is given by 1,
2, or 3 red dots (A 33) which correspond to the
dots appearing under the factor numbers of the
OPTOVAR (E 20).
The numbers engraved on the rings indicate the
factor by which the objective magnification
must
be multiplied in order to obtain the magni·
ficotion on the focusing screen (8 7).

A separate ri ng is provided for each of the five
LUMINARS employed for low power photo·
graphs (Simple Microscope). The correlation
between ring
and LUMINAR is indicated by the
some color of the engraving. The numbers en·
graved an the rings directly indicate the magni·
ficotion an the focusing screen (Table 11, page
67). An additional ring with millimeter graduo.
tian is provided for cases in which such an un·
equivocal correlation cannot be determined
beforehand. With this scale
an optional table
of magnifications can
be set up. 7
