Locking of objectives
The front part of immersion objectives (OIL, W,
IMM) can be pushed up (91.1 and 91.2) by about
2 mm and locked in a shortened position by a
slight rotary movement. This stops any
remaining drops of immersion liquid from
wetting specimens or other objectives when the
nosepiece is turned.
Immersion objectives also have a second colour ring underneath:
