I bought 2-4x, 2-10x and 2-20x. Awaiting their arival. I will let you know on the quality all non-oil filled.

Question, anyone use oil filled objectives? Pro and cons?

They also have rack and pinion microscope stages, heavy duty, new, which make excellent translation stages for variable linear beam splitters. I am going to try one for spatial filter mounting.
Thanks again to Colin as this source came from his page.

I bought one of the microscope stages a few months back and it works great for my variable beam splitter. I actually disassembled it in two parts and gave one to Michael which I believe is also using it successfully for his beam splitter.

I got to use Michael's beamsplitter and the adjustment was great! This is a really good idea. Thank you.

I looked at one of the 4x's and one of the 10x's. The 4x was very very clean. The 10X was terrible. I did not try to clean either of then. I used them right out of the case. It may be all surface on the 10x. Unfortunately I was pressed for time in my session and only needed to use the 4x.
