That's impressive! Stuck to the underside of a coverslip?
What objective is that, Waldo?

Well, between the slide and a coverslip yes. I did use a small trick - I did not use water between the slip and slide, I used immersion oil. That worked better with the scales as these scales are hydrophobic.

It is the Olympus UPLSAPO100XO;U PLAN S-APO 100X OIL OBJ, NA 1.40 and of course the oil condenser.

Excellent. The detail in the first and last shots is exceptional for a conventional light microscope.
