About This Product
A camera lucida is an attachment fitted over the eyepiece of a microscope. In the prismatic type an optical glass prism, silver coated on one side and compact in design, hangs over the eyepiece. In the mirror type the mirror reflects the pencil point image into an Abbe prism clamped over the eyepiece and superimposes it on the specimen image, so that the image seen in the microscope can be drawn. The prism box is hinged for a quick change of eyepiece for normal observation. Both types come in a velvet box. School Lab Equipment India can export the Camera Lucida to education buyers in Poland, Croatia, Mexico, Brazil, Haiti and Mauritius.
