Hey Folks,
I was wondering if one should automatically replace the eyepieces/oculars that your microscope came with? Usually when you buy a new telescope, that’s one of the first things you do... but what about with microscopes?
Thanks,

Re: Replacing Eyepieces
Generally no, eyepieces in microscopy are differwnt from telescope eyepieces. In some microscopes the eyepiece is an essential part od the optics, correcting for aberrations intentionally left in the objective design to make a fully corrected image. Even outside of that compatibility ia not universal and there are limited cases where an immediate upgrade would make any sense.
