Slides
Five microscope slides.
These microscope slides come from a 14 drawer cabinet found in the Herschel family home in the 1950s. Collectively the contents of this and a similar cabinet seems to suggest that they were used by successive generations of the family to store specimens, material and apparatus for carrying out experiments. The slides form a set, all related to the study of the polarising properties of geological samples.
Each slide is labelled.
- 2 Quartz Obliques. Franges de Ohm. 90° Hyperboles equilater.
- 2 Quartz Obliques. (Franges de Ohm). 6'7°.30' Hyperboles Obliques.
- 2 Quartz Obliques. (Franges de Ohm). 45° Ellipses.
- Sel de Senarmont. Azotate de Strontiane. Houppes. Dichroïque.
- Axinite. Bourg d'Oisans. Houppes.
All were produced by English maker, W. LADD & Co., Beak St, W.
