Good morning all,
I'd like to have your opinion about microscopic objectives, reference "Objectif infinity M Plan Apo SL, magnification 2x / 5x and 10x , marketed by BW Optics (China).
They are much cheaper than Mitutoyo but for what quality?
I work with DCR150 and DCR250, with rail Wemacro.
Thanks for your help!

Re: BW optics microscopic objectives reviews
Reviews have not been too kind to these. It can be hard to nail down exactly which mitutoyo knockoff is being discussed since there are a few out there, but I think BW sells the low tier "HL" ones which don't really give apo performance.
For mitutoto ripoffs, Motic's M Plan Apo ELWDs (also sold as Edmund Optics) are pretty good--they have gotten favorable reviews and the one 10x I owned gave identical results to my mitutoyo on aps-c. That's the only one I've seen that doesn't get mixed or negative reviews, though it's not a thorouhly explored space, probably because they sell at a relatively small discount vs the genuine mitutoyos when used.
