As I recall this particular Reichert industrial series doesn't do corrections in the tube lens (one of the only ones we have good test results for because Robert has compared several tube lenses includjng a Reichert one to others with a mitutoyo 5x objective). The eyepiece corrections aren't super s...

No, it is not. They have their own different formulae and they may vary even from one series to another by the same maker. Part of it is simplicity but I suspect a big part is keeping things proprietary within their systems.

Don't worry I still got you covered viewtopic.php?f=25&t=44579
Based on my one copy not highly recommended unless it is cheap.

All nikon infinity objectives use a 200mm tube lens to get their nominal magnification.

My Wild M10 is hypercentric. Maybe that is related.

With a 200mm fl tube lens it will give 10x magnification. Certainly a lens I've only dared speculate about, but the 2x from the same system (this is a Z series objective retrofit to the stereos) gives remarkable results. Scarodactyl, can you elaborate on that? I have one of those Leica PlanApo lens...

Hmm, I think what I have is probably better.

If you always want to crop the image down it's a nonissue, just seems like a shame to discard a large chunk of your available FoV.

An olympus head with an empty adapter will cover aps-c (with some minor corner degradarion if you don't have an uw head) as long as there isn't something like a c mount physically blocking the light.

It is an impressive setup and some great resolution. I'll admit I'm curious what the bottleneck is on the camera that it's projecting a c-mount sized circle--did you also have to use a more transmissive tube lens?

I tried to use the bing ai to search for microscope stuff. I was not very impressed.

I wonder if we could also make a list every relevant olympus objective with comments and links where information is known. There aren't too many.

This is a quick draft that needs some photos with appropriate permissions and probably some more setails, but it is a start. Please post additions, corrections, questions or especially photos that may be used. I don't have any infinity splans or dplans anymore. There are two main eras of Olympus inf...

There are only a few olympus infinity objectives that had eyepiece corrections, splans and dplans. They also have different styling from later uis/uis-2 objectives. So--could you perhaps write a FAQ? Sure, though I would certainly defer to Alan on this since he's the olympus expert. It would be a p...
