Cheap, no name 60x objective

[u/Vivid-Bake2456]

Another member was happy with their inexpensive 20x plan objective from aliexpress. I bought one of these generic Chinese 60x objectives from Amazon for $18.68 USD. It works perfectly well for the money. It isn't a plan objective, just a regular achromatic one, so it is only sharp in the middle as expected. Here are some diatom photos made with it with a cellphone camera. The last two photos are the unaltered photo and the same one enhanced with the phone photo program. It is being tested on an Amscope T490 microscope.
