Hi everyone,

This may be an odd question. Would you know of a commercially available
objective, optimally 1.4NA 60x or 100x, capable of withstanding imaging at
70C without damage due to temperature stress? Even better if the objective
can have an heating element or collar capable of imposing the 70C.

In a related point... any immersion oil (commercial or lab mixed) for those
temperature conditions?

All the best,
-Ricardo
