Extract

This instrument is a microscope stage-micrometer for the quantitative estimation of one to six different kinds of constituents in a substance, by the Delesse-Rosiwal method. It is intended, primarily, for linear micrometrie analysis in petrography, but has similar uses in mineralogy, chemistry, and metallography. Economic applications include the volumetric evaluation of components in building stones, road-metals, sSlid fuels, refractories, and slags.

The object of this new design is to combine speed and accuracy in operation with a particularly compact construction, mechanical simplicity, and strength. Special consideration has been given to the wear and cleansing of bearings, the definition of scale-divisions and zero-marks, and the rigidity of all supports for moving parts.
