Eyepieces

3 eyepieces in a wooden box from the RGO, probably come from a measuring machine (eg reading photographic plates) rather than a telescope. Each eyepiece is labelled with its magnification - the smallest, 10x, middle, 8x and largest 6x. The box is labelled '50' and inside the box is written 'PJM'. The box is marked ZBA0712.1 and can be found via the Whole/Part toggle.
