Described on page sixty one, this plate illustrates a pattern for a box that can be constructed to hold microscope slides containing specimens. The bottom of the box contains a spot for pliers for use with handling the specimens and slides.

This plate comes from The Microscope Made Easy by Henry Baker (1698-1774), a book that popularized the microscope in the 18th century. The first section describes simple and compound microscopes along with how to prepare specimens and calculate their size. The second section introduces the reader to microscopy and the laboratory manual. Also includes "Animalcules," or microscopic animals, and anatomical discoveries made with the microscope.
