Hi Martin - that's correct, I want to bring the objective very close to the specimen, almost touching it.

I'm not sure I'm getting the concept--do you want an objective that
*needs* to be in contact with the specimen to be in focus?  --It might
help me if you explained a bit more about what you're trying to do.
