Microscope: Smith, Beck & Beck, London.

Lacquered brass folding monocular microscope on cast triangular base with engraved serial number 4297 and range of accessories in Mahogany ‘clamshell’ case with brass handle and catches. (removed by Jim Burnet 7 Feb. 2025 for committee Meeting 20 Feb.2025)

[The Wellcome Collection (via the Science Museum, London) has a compound acromatic microscope of 1857 by Smith and Beck which looks very similar. [Described as “Educational type microscope, suitable for routine work”] It comes with an accompanying booklet.

Internt ref. https://asiuk.net/mkrbec/Beckmicroscopes.htm gives the following information: –

MICROSCOPES FROM THE SMITH & BECK DYNASTY

When the newly founded Microscopical Society placed their first orders for microscopes in 1841, they went to the three leading makes: James Smith, Andrew Ross and Hugh Powell. James Smith was given the order, ahead of both Ross and Powell. Richard Beck, a nephew of J.J. Lister was sent to Smith as an apprentice and in 1847 he was taken into partnership so that the firm became known as Smith & Beck. In 1851 Richard’s brother Joseph joined the firm. Joseph Beck had already served an apprenticeship with the famed Troughton and Simms and in 1857 Joseph was also made a partner and the firm’s name changed to Smith, Beck & Beck. James Smith retired in 1864 and the firm’s name changed to R. & J. Beck in 1865. James Smith died in 1870. R & J Beck became a limited company in 1894 and was eventually taken over by Griffin & George Ltd. in 1960.

“Popular Microscope” as listed by Richard Beck in The Achromatic Microscope 1865. This all brass microscope comes with its accessories in it’s fitted “clamshell” type case. The name is cast into the triangular folding stand and the number 5221 is engraved on the base of the microscope dating it to 1868. There is a circular rotating stage with slide bar, rack & pinion main focus and thumbwheel fine focus, and a single-sided mirror below the stage. The microscope comes with a range of accessories in two drawers, including a wheel of stops sub-stage condenser, a live box, a high power eyepiece, 2 objectives and some antique microscope slides and slide preparation parts. All this comes in the original case with brass handle, catches and lock but no key. This makes an impressive display as well as being a good working instrument.
