    DESCRIPTION OF A NEW MICROSCOPE, FOR THE USE OF MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS AT THE BED-SIDE. By DAVID GRUBY, M.D., PROFESSOR OF HISTOLOGY, ETC., PARIS. {Extracted from the Monthly Journal of Medical Science.] My object in causing the formation of this microscope, was to furnish practical medical men, and naturalists ini- tiated in histological stu- dies, with an instrument that could be easily trans- ported in the pocket, whilst it preserved all the clear- ness, precision, and other advantages of larger ones. For a long time, efforts have been made to render the use of the microscope more extended and easy, by diminishing the volume; but, up to the present day, no one has succeeded in giving to such an instru- Fig. I. The Microscope, as seen within the Box. ment either the optical or mechanical precision every observer finds necessary for the prose- cution of accurate investigations. The microscope I now introduce to the notice of the profes- sion, magnifies from 5 to 800 diameters linear. The image is so clear and distinct, as to bear comparison with that produced EDINBURGH !
