This vintage Spencer Buffalo Microscope is a sturdy and well-built instrument, with a heavy base and brass frame. It is designed for use on a tabletop or desk. The microscope features a monocular head with a single eyepiece, which can be adjusted for focus and magnification using the large knobs on either side of the frame.
The stage can be rotated and adjusted using a series of knobs and levers, allowing for precise positioning of the specimen under the lens. The microscope also has a built-in mirror, which can be used to reflect light onto the specimen for improved visibility.
Overall, the Spencer Buffalo Microscope is a classic example of vintage microscopy, with a sturdy and elegant design that is sure to impress. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of modern microscopes, it is a testament to the quality and craftsmanship of early 20th century microscopy equipment.
