HEATH'S MICROSCOPE
Item 105 in George Frederick Kolbe's 2003 Numismatic
Bookseller fixed price list is an unusual piece related to the
famous Heath's counterfeit detectors. "Heath's Improved
Adjustable Compound Microscope, [Patented Dec 25,
1877]. For Examining Bank Notes, Minerals, Flowers,
Seeds, Linen, Etc., Etc." The device was illustrated in
late editions of Heath's counterfeit detector. George lists
it as "The first we have seen." It's the first I've even heard
of these - time to go check my later Heath editions.
