🔬 Should I buy a 60x dry objective instead of a 100x Oil? | Amateur Microscopy

A 60x dry (non-oil) objective can have several advantages over a 100x oil objective for general purpose applications.

Oil objectives require Immersion Oil for microscopy. The oil immersion objective is rotated into the oil (so that there is no air between the slide and the objective). This causes the objective and slide to be covered with oil and they must be cleaned.
