- Description
- Black metal folding stereoscope. The rectangular frame has two square openings that allow light to pass through the image, which is inserted into tracks on the inside of the frame. Opposite the rectangular frame is a rounded frame containing two round glass lenses that also has a rounded cut-out where the nose can fit. Between the two frames is an adjustable plate, allowing the image to be moved further from or closer to the viewer in order to be brought into focus. The stereoscope folds in on itself and latches with a small gold flat-top peg that fits into a small slot on the lens frame.
