As shown in the figure, this type of oil immersion lens becomes blurry after being used for a while and is no longer clear to view. Is there any oil immersion lens that can avoid this issue?
A blurry oil sight glass may indicate a problem with the lubricating oil; one should not rely on the sight glass to make judgments.
