Chase's Laboratory Microscope

A brass-and-black bench microscope rests on Chase’s cluttered workbench, its cylindrical body and brass eyepiece catching the glow of the estate’s dim emergency lighting. The glass lenses show faint scratches from repeated use, and the brass stage bears residue of chemical stains. Chase glances at it briefly as Scorby’s news interrupts his experiments—its lenses untouched by the unfolding crisis.
