    • Simple microscope, dissecting (Inv. 3324)

Simple dissecting microscope signed by Carl Kellner. The circular iron base supports a pillar carrying the stage above which is the lens. The mirror is hinged to the middle of the base. The box, which also contains three objectives, carries the initials Prof. T.T., in all likelihood those of the owner, Adolfo Targioni Tozzetti.
