A Microscope
16th November, 2021
I have a vivid memory of a microscope I received as a child; thanks to eBay I can show you the exact model. It was excellent: the microscope had an optional stand, for use with slides, but was a solid self-contained item. You could safely slip it in your pocket and take it outside. The microscope’s light was pivotable, so you could directly illuminate your subject or bounce it through the stand for backlighting.
