Selling an Olympus SPlanApo 40x 0.95NA

#1 Post by MicroMan2 » Sun Apr 17, 2022 3:21 am

Selling an Olympus SPlan Apo 40x 0.95NA for 400USD shipping included and price negotiable. Below are pictures of the objective as well as an album of photomicrographs of a variety of diatoms that compares a SPlan Achro to the SPlan Apo. The slide used was a Klaus Kemp 8 Form. I am also willing to trade for either an Olympus DPlan Apo 40x 0.85NA or DPlan Apo 40x Oil 1.00NA objective with a price offset for the latter.

EDIT 17Apr2022: Link has updated photomicrographs of the SPlan Apo 40x 0.95NA. A slight difference was that the SPlan 40x 0.70NA photomicrographs were initially RAW files converted into JPG. The SPlan Apo 40x 0.95NA were taken directly as JPGs with the lowest settings.

Interesting. You might consider doing a more controlled set of pictures. Too many of the ones you provided are suffering from vibration, so they are difficult to interpret, since even some that look o.k. might still be affected by a lesser degree of vibration. I presume you are dead certain on the correction collar setting and are using an Olympus NFK photo eyepiece?

Yep the settings of the objective correction collar settings are good but I think that my photomicrography was a bit shoddy. I will make a new set of photos.
