VOL. 6 Microscopes in the Prewar Period: For Recording Observations
For researchers, recording results of observations through a microscope was a vital issue. In the prewar period, a drawing attachment was used to sketch the observed specimen by hand.
The marketing of a drawing attachment, called Abbe Drawing Attachment began around 1934.
At the same time, attempts were made to use photography to preserve observation records. Around 1925, Olympus released the Olympus Microphotograph Apparatus PMB (level type) for microscopes and Olympus Microphoto (56 mm x 93mm), a compact photographic device for microscopes the size of a business card.
The Super Photo universal research microscope with a photographic system, introduced in 1938, was the most advanced microscope of the prewar period.
Designed for biological and industrial applications, the model had a host of accessories for bright/dark field of vision, neopak and projection purposes.
