Objective test
I should have put the specs of the objectives in the original post, which I will do from now on. The objectives are:
NIKON MPlan 40 0.65 210/0
The dry 100x objective may have come with an Amscope kit.
100/1.25
160/0.17
The 100X oil is a SWIFT objective that I have previously tested against my other oil objectives in transmitted light microscopy. This was the first time I tried it on a metallurgical scope with immersion oil and am very impressed by its performance.
SWIFT S-MICRO
100 1.25 Oil
160/0.17
