This item was a optical instrument named as Stereoscope. Stereoscopes are apparently those optical devices that help to view the two images separately and with relaxed eyes. There are two types of stereoscopes as: lens or pocket stereoscopes and mirror stereoscopes. Lens or pocket stereoscopes are great for viewing the whole overlap area of prints up to 9 cm × 13 cm or parts of larger patterns. On the other hand, mirror stereoscopes were designed to accept standard 23 cm × 23 cm metric air photos and work well with A4/US letter-sized prints. Most models come with magnifying options up to eight times, which is pretty impressive. One cool thing about mirror stereoscopes is that they are large enough to allow the analyst to draw beneath them, so it is possible to trace objects identified in the stereoview with a pen onto one of the images or a transparent overlay. However, it's important to remember that this sketch wouldn't have the geometric properties of a map as it contains all distortions present in the base image.

Fond provides a comprehensive overview of microscopy, covering introductory concepts and various aspects, including lenses and light phenomena. It delves into the construction, theory, and practical use of microscopes. Beginning with a historical perspective, it navigates through the significance of lenses and optics, shedding light on the interplay between light and microscopic observation. Detailed discussions on microscope construction and theoretical foundations are included.

The document was sent from the Director General of Observatories to Thomas Royds in 1913. The Director General of Observatories inquired about the order of the new screw for the Ponna micrometer in response to John Evershed's letter dated 18th August 1913.
