Abstract
WHEN drawing objects under a microscope with a camera lucida the size of the drawing is normally dependent solely on the magnification of the microscope. Usually this magnification can be adjusted to give a drawing of the required size; but when drawing objects which are only a few microns long, such as chromosomes or the spores of fungi, the image produced by even the highest powers of the microscope is too small to give a drawing of a reasonable size. The devices described below are for the purpose of making large drawings with a camera lucida hi such circumstances.
