According to Jan Hinsch of Leitz, this inverted microscope was designed in the 1950s and was very popular until discontinued in the early to mid 1970s.
It features a black enamel frame, body, stage, and head with a revolving inverted nosepiece designed for examining specimens from below.
The microscope was a low power affair, originally intended as a laboratory inverted microscope for the observation of chemical reactions in Erlenmeyer flasks, thus the name "Chemist's Microscope".
Actually, the microscope enjoyed a much wider audience for use as a workhorse inverted microscope to observe the cell growth in tissue culture vessels.
A binocular head is attached to the inverted nosepiece through a straight body tube, and light passes through a series of prisms and mirrors.
Focus is achieved with a rack and pinion mechanism that moves the stage upward and downward. A chrome pillar houses the lamphouse and condenser assembly that illuminates specimens from above.
