It has several important features. The stage is of the built-in mechanical model where the entire top plate is moved both in the horizon- tal and vertical directions and can be cleared of all obstructions so that a culture plate or petri dish can be placed upon it and moved by means of the mechanical stage. The milled heads are under flush with the level of the top of the stage so that they do not prevent a large object lying flat upon the stage. The substage apparatus is interchanged by means of dovetailed (Akehurst) slides. The use of cylindrical fittings for changing the substage apparatus has great disadvantages, in that such fit- tings are difficult to change and generally necessitate the entire dislocation of the adjustments of the microscope. Now that dark ground illumination is practically a necessity in many branches of microscopy, it is frequently necessary to change rapidly from one form of illumination to another. With substage fittings of the cylindrical form this is troublesome, but the method adopted in the Pathological microscope enables this change to be made rapidly and with the minimum disturbance of the adjustments of the instrument. A well fitted dove- tailed slide with an efficient clamping screw is a more accurate method of ensuring the correct alignment of substage apparatus. The Pathological microscope has been carefully examined and criticised by a number of experts in medical microscopy and many suggestions made by them have been included. It has been adopted at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine where the large equipment of microscopes consists of Beck Pathologicals. Base and pillar are of one heavy casting, the base being of the horseshoe pattern resting on three points, and having a spread of 5|in. by 7|in. The pillar has joint for in
