A folding tripod foot supports a tapered pillar with compass joint to the square-sectioned limb. Rackwork to the stage
is cut in front of the limb and a plano-concave mirror and a substage condenser are on collars that run over the limb.
The body-tube has a conical lower half, a form introduced by George Adams Jnr. in his "Universal Compound
microscope", and is to be seen in his Essays on the Microscope (1787). Adams died in 1795 and the Jones brothers
bought the rights to the book and re-issued it in a second edition in 1798.
 
There is a full range of accessories, that include six objective lenses in a rotating disc with their numbers showing
through an aperture, two objectives with liberkuhn attached, an objective with cap, a cone diaphgram, a fish plate,
stage forceps, tweezers, watch glass, a small ivory cylinder with rounded glasses inside, stage bull's eye, spring stage,
three-aperture swivel stage.
In addition there are 5 ivory sliders with specimens and 3 big wood sliders, with insect wings. The overall condition of
this microscope is excellent, and it packs in a mahogany box with green baize on the supports.
