I'd throw a bid at this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Infinity-Corre ... 4852936194 Might go cheap, and with an NA down at 0.40 there's a chance it will have enough wd. You also wouldn't have to worry about using it even if you're waiting for a deal on a longer wd objective to come up. It is good b...

If you get a metallurgical objective its performance will be lower with a cover slip, at least if the NA os above 0.30. Nevertheless it may still be acceptable a little above that. Then they will not work, as most of the 20X mettallugical objectives I have seen they have a NA above 0.5. After all y...

Now I wonder what is best, go for a standard achromatic 160 mm at 275eur or go for plan infinity corrected at 343eur? My conce...
