Question about No Cover Glass Objectives
Posted: Sun Mar 22, 2020 5:04 pm
What are the benefits of using no cover slip objectives? When do you use them? Online I can only find mention of using them with blood smears. Is that it?
Also, why aren't ALL objectives of type: no cover glass? With the different thicknesses of cover slips, which can cause poorer visual results, why even bother with that? Wouldn't it be better to NOT use cover slips at all?
P.S. I guess they offer some protection from wetting the objective in case you accidentally get too close. But is that the only benefit?
