Wanted: 4x objective for Swift FM 31 field microscope

Post by Beatsy »

I recently bought this ace little field microscope fitted with 10x, 40x and 60x objectives. I want it mainly for checking diatoms at the point of collection so I thought the 60x would be a handy bonus (it replaces a 4x objective that the Swift is normally supplied with). Having used the scope for a while I think I'd actually get more use out of the 4x in practice. I have scopes "back at base" for the finer details (a more appropriate place to study them).

So - does anyone have a Swift 4x objective for the FM 31 going spare? I'm happy to buy (Paypal) or do a straight swap for the 60x objective if that's of interest.

Cheers

I have 4 of 4X, but no 60X so I am interested in swapping. Is it a normal or long working distance?
