Adjusting a precision instrument at the Leitz works, 1937

Lit against a dark background, a young man with close-cropped hair and a white coat bends over a tall steel column fitted with knobs, racks and a stage, resembling the stand of a large microscope, and works at it with a small screwdriver; in close view his hand moves the stage beneath the lens mount. Before the Leica, Ernst Leitz's firm at Wetzlar had made its name with microscopes, and they remained a pillar of its business.
