The mahogany box is lined with green velvet; the pillar screws into a boss in the lower edge. A concave mirror, with silver loss due to age wearing, pins into the pillar, and the stage is fixed into a bracket moved by rackwork for focusing. The body tube screws into a bar fixed to the top of the pillar. There are three objectives numbered 1 to 3, the latter of highest power. A live box is also present, with a brass disc for supporting.
