UPDATE
After 44 years of providing microscope objective lens service and repair, RMMC has discontinued this offering, as of October 8th, 2021. All other sales and services remain unaffected. We sincerely thank all of our past customers who trusted us with their optics.
The images, from both episcopic and conoscopic sources, are being left for viewing interests.
