Description

Stiassnie Microscope

Precision Microscope in varnished brass – M. Stiassnie, Paris, c. 1905/1908

A precision scientific instrument from the prestigious Maison Maurice Stiassnie.

Successor to Constant Verick, one of the leading figures in 19th-century Parisian precision optics. Maurice Stiassnie, his son-in-law and successor, took over the company upon his death in 1892, continuing to utilise Verick’s expertise and precision methods.

Maurice Stiassnie was part of a lineage of outstanding microscope makers in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century.

This research laboratory model, crafted from varnished brass and black lacquered cast iron, is an exceptional testament to the golden age of Parisian optics.

Signed on the main tube and the objectives as ‘M. Stiassnie, 204 Boulevard Raspail, Paris’, it represents the technical excellence of the early 20th century.

A fine set including high-precision accessories:

Optics: Supplied with 3 brass objectives (No. 4, No. 8 and a rare 1/12 oil immersion objective for high magnifications) and 2 interchangeable eyepieces.

Micrometric Stage (Carriage): Fitted with a removable brass stage with graduated scales, allowing millimetre-precise movement of specimens along the X and Y axes.

Complex Illumination System: Optical sub-stage including an Abbe condenser adjustable via a rack-and-pinion mechanism and a double-sided mirror (plan/concave). Please note that the diaphragm can no longer be used; it remains in the open position.

Articulated Body: The body tilts to 90° and the optical tube retracts, allowing the instrument to be fully folded away for transport in its bespoke carrying case.

The serial number 11765 is hand-stamped into the wood of the original case.

Based on this number, the microscope can be estimated to date from 1905–1908.

This dating is confirmed by the address engraved on the brass tube: Boulevard Raspail, following the company’s relocation in 1902, and the documented annual production volume of the Stiassnie factory at that time, approximately 500 microscopes per year.

Beautiful patina on the varnished brass and black lacquer.

Mechanics: Smooth movement. The focus rack and micrometric stage are fully functional.

Important note: The small control lever for the iris diaphragm is broken at its base. The original part has been found and is included in the case for possible restoration. The diaphragm can no longer be closed, but as the iris is in the open position, the microscope can be used immediately.

Supplied with its original mahogany carrying case with handle and lock (key missing).
