This is the most complete of the three cal-oxyhydrogen microscopes which were purchased by the early University. We still have a large collection of objects made to be viewed with the aid of this particular apparatus. The microscope illustrated was made by W. & S. Jones of London. The other two were made by E.M. Clarke, also of London, and by McAllister of Philadelphia.
Perhaps an interesting feature of this instrument us the housing on top of the tripod in which was generated the limelight. The tripod support stands about five feet tall and the housing measures 15 x 12 inches. The complete instrument with its objects for study were valued by Dr. Fall at $910.00.Collection
