The stage was heated by the passage of hot water through small tubes inserted in a metal box. Served to raise the temperature of the samples observed under the microscope. The temperatures are controlled by a thermometer mounted on the instrument. Built by Carl Reichert. Belonged to the Gabinetto degli Invertebrati of the Istituto di Studi Superiori of Florence.
