However, it was the 'No 1 Model,' a direct evolution of Powell & Lealand's 'New Microscope' from 1843, that laid the foundation for the subsequent iconic series of microscopes – the 'Powell & Lealand Number 1,' 'Number 2,' and 'Number 3.' The microscope introduced in 1843 is often mistaken for the later Number 3 stand due to their striking similarities. Initially described in the November 1843 issue of The London Physiological Journal as 'Powell & Lealand’s New Microscope,' this groundbreaking instrument featured a tripod design as its stand – a revolutionary departure from previous designs.The tripod, a lightweight yet robust design, supported the microscope body on trunnions and featured a limb housing a long lever connected to the nosepiece. In its early incarnation, the fine-focus screw, operating on a wedge, was situated on the right side of the arm. However, a modification in 1844 replaced the wedge with an L-shaped piece. Subsequently, in 1848 and 1849, the mechanism underwent another transformation, moving to the familiar vertical position on the top of the arm. During these transitional years, some microscopes retained side fine adjustments. However, by 1850, the fine adjustment was exclusively located on the top of the arm. This period also saw diagonal stabilizing struts supporting the microscope tube, extending from the back of the arm to the upper third of the tube. Interestingly, these stabilizers were eventually abandoned in the early 1860s.While Hugh Powell had crafted various microscope styles before 1843, it was the 'New Microscope' that served as the prototype, guiding the development of all subsequent models throughout the remainder of the century. Notably, the only deviation from this design was observed in the company's student models or ‘Iron Stand’. Thus, the legacy of Powell & Lealand's "New Microscope" of 1843 endures as a pivotal moment in the progression of microscope design.According to Great age of the microcope, Powell & Lealand were at 24 Clarendon Street from 1842 - 1846.
