AmScope A100X 100X (Oil) Achromatic Microscope Objective

100x has excellent imaging quality for malarial parasites and bacteria visualization. Fits well to ordinary microscope. Authentic Olympus product

We recently acquired an old Olympus BH-2 scope for our lab that came with a couple dud objectives. We grabbed a couple of these AmScope objectives just so we can get it up and running in the short term. This 100x lens works just fine with it. Threaded right in without issue, doesn't interfere with the turning the nosepiece, and produces a decent image. Now, it is very distinctly a Cheap lens. The field flatness isn't great, you can focus roughly 2/3rds of the field at a time. It's also not Exactly parfocal with the other lenses, so it requires a bit of twiddling of the knob to clear up. But for the price it will absolutely do what we need it to do for now, and we're happy as can be. And lastly a note on shipping. It was sent in a plastic tube, with the lens screwed into a retaining ring in the cap. Nice idea. Unfortunately the tube wasn't closed correctly so the lens was at an angle in the tube, potentially a risk for damage in shipping (we didn't have any, but its possible). The tube was also just shipped in a bubble mailer, and had been roughed up a bit, so had some cracks in the plastic. But it was still intact, so all's well that ends well I suppose.

Este objetivo lo compré para usarlo con el microscopio de Velab Ve-M4, es totalmente compatible. Solo un detalle, el botecito que lo contiene venía demasiado apretado

I am new to microscopy as a hobby. For the price, I am satisfied with what I can see at that magnification. If your a hobbyist, this is great!

Excelente de calidad, buen producto

Worked as expected on current microscope replacing lowest power lens.
