W and S Jones Brass Solar Microscope, Circa 1792 - 1800
W AND S JONES BRASS SOLAR MICROSCOPE. CIRCA 1792- 1800 Williams and Samuel Jones brass solar projection microscope. A projection microscope was often used for entertainment to project an image onto a wall for a large group. Often a group would gather on a Sunday afternoon for a"slide" show. The projection system- usually a"Solar Microscope" This instrument was usually mounted in a hole in a window shutter of a house or building to capture the sunlight of the sun. When in use the specimen is placed beyond the focus of the lens. Since the object cannot emit light itself it is illuminated from behind. Outside the building the mirror reflects sunlight to a condenser; the light rays pass through the condenser and specimen. Enter the lens and are refracted forming an image in the plane of the lens. The image is real, enlarged, ... morelaterally reversed and inverted. Since the image is projected across a room, a lens of longer focal length is used. The use of the solar microscope depended upon the sun, the light source. The inventor of the solar microscope is not really known exactly but credit probably goes to Fahrenheit probably before 1736. Lieberkuhn is responsible for bringing the innovation to England in 1740, demonstrating his reflecting mirror and solar microscope to the Royal Society Members. He did not claim to be the inventor. The origin of the solar microscope dates back to the camera obscura of the 16th century. It used a lens in a shutter or other aperture of a darkened room to project a greatly magnified outdoor image on an opposite wall inside the building. Later Cuff and Martin made their own versions of the solar microscope were used to project opaque objects. This solar microscope is lacquered brass, rackworth focus on the tube, a square brass plate with two(2) drilled holes for mounting onto a wall. A long mirror, measuring 6 3/4" x 2 1/2" with no cracks and in great shape. The mirror is adjusted by a rack and pinion system and can be rotated. The microscope is identified with

Antique Microscopic Slide Cabinet, Circa 1800's
ANTIQUE MICROSCOPIC SLIDE CABINET. CIRCA 1800's Microscopic slide cabinets were a unique cabinet to catalog and store treasured slides for easy retrieval. The cabinet itself was designed to be a unique storage system that would be found in a nice library or laboratory environment. It would house microscopic slides that would be available for demonstration or a conversation piece for interested quests or colleagues. The cabinet was often constructed from heavy. Strong and durable wood, perhaps mahogany or cherry, many cabinets with ornate carvings and immaculate detail. Brass handles, locks and keys would often accent the cabinet. The drawers may have alabaster pulls to accent the cabinet finish and design. Often the drawer pulls may be carved wooden pulls that off set the wood finish. Some of the cabinets had velvet- lined drawers, which ... moreadded a delicate, sharp look for the microscope slides to rest on in the drawer itself. This wooden microscopic slide cabinet is a very heavy, well constructed cabinet, measuring 17 1/2" H x 17" W x 11 1/2" D. It has 29 drawers with carved wooden pulls, some are knob-like and a few that are pin-wheel shaped that were carved to replace the pulls that have been lost over time. Unique design.

The top of the cabinet has a brass decorative carrying handle- see image. The cabinet has a storage capacity of about 800 plus slides.

Rare Vintage Von Rappard Slides Circa 1800-1900
RARE VINTAGE VON RAPPARD SLIDES. CIRCA 1800- 1900 A set of rare vintage Von Rappard slides. Circa 1800- 1900. These slides were prepared by Conrad Von Rappard, Switzerland. Conrad Von Rappard was born in 1805 in Unna Westphalia, Prussia. One of his ventures led him to biology and an interest in microscopy. He established the company Microscopical Institute of August Menzel and Co. in Switzerland about 1850, which meant"microscopy business" This was one of the first businesses of its kind in Switzerland. More like a microscopical preparation service. He received his doctrate in 1852 on his studies of synaptae. His work led him to many European coasts where he studied sea life, as many of his slides were marine biology life. His slides were a black with gold pattern paper wrapped slides, both in the traditional 1' x 3" but ... morealso in the continental size, 2 5/8" x 5/ 8" His slides also had a specific pattern on the reverse side of the slide. The continental slides were often prepared in sets of 24 or 100, usually of sea life or insects and insect parts. These slides had round identification numbers and there were some slides that may not have these numbers attached or they had fallen off the slide. These numbers were better for the identification of his slides rather than writing because his slides reached many international markets. Each set of slides included a booklet or guide to serve as a key to the slides. This set of slides has 15 slides and comes with a paper written guide to the identification of the slides. Some of the slides area missing- 3,4,5,6,7,10,11,17 and18. The paper guide describes 24 slides. There are few slides that have cracks in the paper wrapping but the cracks do not interfere with the overall slide. Slide 15 has a crack in the coverglass but is not broken and does not interfere with the specimen. There is no box for this set of slides but I will provide a box for them to be stored. Although this set of slides is not perfect, it is an overall excellent set of uniqu

Victorian Set Microscopic Slides, Circa 1800-1900
VICTORIAN SET MICROSCOPIC SLIDES. CIRCA 1800- 1900 In the mid 1800's the preparation of microscopic slides had developed into both an" art" and a" science" With the founding of Histotechnology the art and science of microscopic slide preparation. Both natural science and tissue had begun to advance. Rudolph Virchow's Doctrine of Cellular Pathology, 1858 led to the recognition of microscopic pathology, serving as a vital and essential function of medicine. This recognition led to the birth of Histotechnology. Slides prepared prior to 1850 were mostly of naturalist composition. The slides were usually of glass, hand cut, very sharp edges, uneven and of varying sizes and thicknesses. Most of the slide preparators established decorative"colored papers" with designs to identify and market their work- their ... moresignature. The paper wrapping also providing a protective covering from the sharp cut glass edges. A particular design or pattern, and/ or color would represent a preparator. The paper wrappings along with the design and pattern became the" art" and the technique of preparing the specimen or object became the" science" of Histotechnology. This set of Victorian slides represents numerous microscopic slide preparators- H. Webb. Thomas Groves, F.R. Griffths, J.T. Norman, W.A. Firth, JB" Russell, Smith Beck and Beck, H. Dalton, Wm. Ord C. M. Topping, H. Darleston, R. Sutter, and Jul Burger to name a few. The slides represent insects, some human tissues, insect parts, botany and diatoms. Also are a couple of actual"wooden slides with specimens. There is one paper wrapped slide that has a partially attached/ removed label that reads" Queckett Microscopical Club- see image, a rare find. The set of slides are encased in a wooden slide case that bears the name C. Baker, London- see image. The case has eleven(11) slide trays, each tray holds six(6) slides each and the case has 66 slides total, and not all of the slide trays could be photographed for inse

H. Dalton Micromosaic Slide, Circa 1800-1900
H. DALTON MICROMOSAIC SLIDE. CIRCA 1800-1900 A micromosaic slide of butterfly scales prepared by Henry"Harold" Dalton. Henry Dalton. Later known as"Harold" Dalton, 1829- 1911 was a preparator of butterfly scales and diatoms into an image on a microscope slide for viewing under the microscope. He developed an interest in science and microscopy at an early age. He developed an expertise as a micrographer and prepared slides with diatoms and butterfly scales known as"micromosaics" His slide preparations are rare and sought after. Dalton's microscopic preparations were a work of art. Perfection and detail. He would create a design, then collect butterfly scales from butterflies the world over and construct them into exquisite micromosaics. The mounting of the butterfly scales took enormous talent, patience and ... moretime to create, place and mount into a picture on a slide. This slide has the design of butterfly scales and hairs of two( 2) birds. The label on the right side of the slide reads: H Dalton, Preparator. The slide label on the left slide reads: Butterfly scales and hairs arranged as two dead birds against a wall" Written in pencil is: WS/21 in the left lower corner of the slide label describing the image. The image can be seen- photography does not do it justice. It is a colorful mosaic mounting. At the top and bottom of the wall are butterfly scales representing flowers and plants see images. The slide comes in a nice case with a push button latch- see image. There is a satin ribbon inside the case to use to retrieve the slide by lifting the ribbon and the ribbon will lift the slide for easier retrieval. The case is black on the exterior with gold printing of seller: R and J Beck. The case measures 3 5/8" X 1 3/4" This slide is an excellent preparation of Dalton's work! Nice slide!
