OLYMPUS MICROSCOPE MODEL

FH

The new Olympus

FH

Microscope was made

in

response

to

a wide

demand

for

a microscope

with

perfect

illuminator.

This Microscope, then,

is an improvement on the

highly

popular F Microscope, whose

fine

adjustm-

entis0.0005

mm, and whose heads, stages, and lenses are interchangeable.

The Olympus

FH

Microscope, therefore, is a microscope we can recom-

mend

to

the public

with

pride and confidence. The Olympus Optical Co.,

ltd,.

we

might

add, was established in 1919, and since has been

turning

out

optical

products exclusively.

OUTSTANDING FEATURES

OF

OLYMPUS

FH

MICROSCOPE

1.

Perfect Built·in Illuminator.

Centering need only

be

done once regardless of changes in magnification.

2.

0.0005

mm

Fine Adjustment.

This microscope boasts

an

ultra-sensitive fine adjustment system, which

is

the first of its kind in the world.

Focusing is

easy,

and, what

is

more, the thickness

of

the specimen

can

be

measured

by

the sensitivity scale.

3.

Interchangeability of

Head

and

Stage.

This microscope is available in

any

desired head·stage combination.

Furthermore, the

head

and stage

can

be

changed easily

and

speedily.

4.

Plan

Achromatic Objectives.

The

plan achromatic objectives

haye

been

so

designed that there is no

spherical aberration. Furthermore, the field of photomicrographic work

can

be

widened

by

using

low

magnification

plan

aChromafic objectives.
