ABSTRACT:
An assembly of a microscope, a multi-specimen holder, and a display stand. The microscope includes an optical tube, a stage having an aperture therein, and a light transmissive rod having an ambient light gathering end portion located below the stage and arranged to receive ambient light to convey it through the aperture to illuminate a specimen located above the stage. The microscope is mounted on the display stand, as is the specimen holder. The specimen holder is a rotatable wheel having plural specimen holding portions and at least one light transmissive opening associated therewith. The specimen holder is supported by plural shock absorbing pads. The specimen holder is arranged to be manually rotated to bring any of the specimens into the microscope's field of view. The at least one opening in the specimen holder enables ambient light to pass therethrough to the light gathering end of the light transmissive rod. The display stand includes a base member upon which the microscope and the specimen holder are mounted, and an upstanding display portion for displaying indicia, e.g., point-of-sale information, instructional information, etc., thereon.
