Are Objective lenses standardized? [microscope]?

Asked by Beta_Orionis (3410points) June 19th, 2010

I’m looking to purchase a good personal optical microscope and currently in the process of drafting an inquiry to the life science departments of several local universities.

I need something with a minimum top magnification of 1000x, but I’m wondering whether I can swap a 100x oil immersion lens into a student scope to which I have access.

So…

Do objective lenses for optical scopes have standardized diameters/threads?
