The microscope and its revelations . ope, allows thediaphragm-plate to be madeupon the ordinary plan (),since it can be brought suffi-ciently near to the lenses of thecondenser, without coming intotoo close contiguity with thestage ; and this is obviously thesimplest and most convenient ar-rangement. By Messrs.

As, however, the smallness of the diaphragm-plateso hmits the number of apertures, that the desirable_ varietycould not be afforded by it alone, a second plate is madeto rotate immediately beneath it upon the same axis (like the. Smith and Becks Achiomatic Condenser. ACHEOilATIC COXDEXSER.—EEFLECTIX& PKISIMS. 127 hoiir and minute-hands of a Tvatch), by means of a secondmilled-head, numbered at its edge like the first; and theapertures in the diaphi-agm-plate being simple circles, the Fig. 37.
