  Microscope

  Microscope assembled by Charles Ethelbert Foweraker (1886-1964) while he was a student at Canterbury College. Hand-carved wooden stand with metal scope, probably purchased and assembled. The main section of the stand is made of a vanished light brown wood, while the feet and focusing knob have also been made of wood but painted black. The majority of the scope has also been painted black, but the objective lens has been left to show the shiny brass. The focusing plate, stage clips have been painted black, but the substage mirror holder is brass.
