3 Olympus 40x Objectives compared. FL and 2 SApos

Post by Macro_Cosmos »

This is a case where the SApo outperforms the fluorite by a huge margin. Unlike the 100x objectives where the SApo is more or less similar to the fluorite.
Correction collar set at 0.17 to not penalise the fluorite further. Differences between the NA0.9 and NA0.95 SApos are down to focusing error.
Both the NA0.9 and NA0.95 SApo objectives were offered. The NA0.9 version has a working distance of 0.2mm, whereas it was only 0.18 for the NA0.95.
UPLSAPO40X and UPLSAPO40X2 are the part numbers, with prices differing by $181 new.

Should be fixed now, I replaced the original but it was still loaded on my end, it was saved locally I guess. URL changed after replacement.
