| Notes on Polarizing Microscopes by Allan Brugh Dick 1890/1895

Allan Brugh Dick b. 31st March 1833 Edinburgh, Scotland. Father - John Dick. Mother - Elizabeth Johnston Unfortunately very little other information has come to light concerning this individual. Many microscope manufacturers produced stands from Dick's design and requirement but the initial response to the design was from Swift and their Dick Petrological stands are perhaps the best known. For this reason we have included a Swift Catalogue from 1910 illustrating some of the stands. We have reproduced both the works relating to the Polarizing microscope that were written by Dick and punblished by James Swift & Son. The two works are:- Notes on a new form of Polarizing Microscope Additional notes on the Polarizing Microscope
