Hello Forum,
After quite a lot of ruminating, I've decided to opt for an Olympus system as my forth-coming microscope set-up, for which I want high quality DIC and darkfield (largely for imaging wet mounted moss specimens). I will first see what items I can obtain from the used market, before buying direct from Olympus UK. If you have any of the below excess to your needs, please let me know (I'm based in the UK, but happy to buy from overseas). In particular, if you happen to have a UPLSAPO 60XW gathering dust in a drawer, feeling lonely, I'd be pleased to give it a good home ;-)
Many thanks for any help.
