The top of the stereoscope has a panel on a gold metal hinge that can fold up with a mounted mirror on the inside. The right-hand side has a small slit vertically near the frosted glass window where the image can be inserted - there is a small metal tab mounted beside the slit to hold the image inside the box. The main window of the stereoscope consists of a frosted glass window to allow diffused light into the box - the panel containing the window can fold away from the box on a gold metal hinge so that the interior can be accessed.
