Dear friends,

I'm looking to replace my partly damaged Plan 40x Ph2 (infinity) on my E400.

1. WTB Either a fluorite (40x/60x) or an APO (if reasonably priced).

2. I would possibly also be interested in a 10x flourite or APO Ph1 (if reasonably priced).

3. A phase telescope for the E400.

I live in Stockholm Sweden so EU offers are very interesting. I'm also looking to buy some Olympus BX-DIC items, see separate thread.

Well, seeing that this may be a tough catch I’m leaning towards eBay. I’m leaning towards a 40x 0.75 Plan Fluor Ph2 or the 40x 0.6 ELWD Ph2 which for some reason seem to be plentiful. Can someone advise me what the use case for the latter is?

Is it something you would buy to study cells in thick wells in an inverted microscope given the large range of the adjustment collar. How does it perform vs the 0.75 version?

I have a standards upright microscope.
