The two following =drawing eye-pieces= Nos. 92 and 93,
have quickly found favor among those having frequent
occasion to make drawings from microscopic preparations
and are now largely used in educational institutions as
an aid to students in the study of their specimens. In
both eye-pieces the prism is so adjusted as to
accomplish total reflection of the image, thus doing
away with loss of light and with secondary reflections,
such disturbing features of those forms of drawing
apparatus of which a mirror forms an essential part.

92. This =drawing eye-piece= is employed with the stand
in the vertical position. The reflected image lies at
the side of the microscope, the rays passing off at an
acute angle from the reflecting prism near the top of
the eye-piece. The eye-piece slips into the tube of the
microscope like any ordinary eye-piece and is held in
position by a thumb-screw. The drawing field is at once
visible without further adjustment, and the picture is
clear and sharp. The brightness of the drawing field may
be regulated by smoked glass plates mounted in two
moveable metal arms =8.--=

93. This =drawing eye-piece= is similar in construction
to that just described, but is so arranged as to throw
the image vertically downwards behind the microscope
when the latter is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees.
In this case also the picture reflected is clear and
sharp, devoid of all disturbing secondary images. As the
image is reflected vertically downwards upon the table,
no special drawing stand is necessary as there is no
distortion of the picture. The intensity of the light
may be modified by smoked glass plates mounted in two
moveable metal arms =10.--=
For a description of these drawing eye-pieces and of the
principles involved in their construction reference may
be had to the Zeitschrift für wissenschaftliche
Mikroskopie, XII, 1895.
