A retro-futuristic microscope with a sturdy metal base and a series of adjustable lenses housed in a brass and steel frame. The eyepiece is large and rounded, designed for comfort during extended use, while the stage is made of scratched but still functional glass, showing signs of wear from post-apocalyptic conditions. The microscope features intricate engravings of pre-war scientific symbols and has a slightly weathered, matte finish with occasional glossy accents where the metal hasn't been worn down.
