Possible 10 Watt LED Light Source..
I have not done this one yet, but it looks like another easy LED light source... It would be reminiscent of the old external lighting sources for microscopes...

Re: Is this delamination or fungus?
With my limited experience with objectives, this does look like fungus... I have seen it once before.... May be quite a job to clean out, but you never know..
