Abstract/NotesThe general outline and weight of the body of the instrument are devised to ensure perfect rigidity and steadiness during use, all necessary adjustments, such as the focusing of the rotating eyepiece, movement of the revolving stage, reflector, or screen, being quite independent of the optical system; which, being contained in the main body in a dust-proof receptacle, entirely prevents any vital part of the refractometer getting out of adjustment, unless deliberately tampered with.The eyepiece, which by rotation is capable of giving a wide variation of focus, is set at the most convenient angle to ensure easy and comfortable observation.The forward projecting portion attached to the main body is rectangular in shape, and hollow, the upper surface forming a platform in which revolves a circular plated stage with a milled edge capable of being turned about a vertical axis through 360°, with an engraved scale marked at every 45° to enable the observer to read with accuracy the least and greatest refractive indices of all doubly refracting stones.
