Microscope World had a customer that splices and connects fiber optic cables, and they needed to view these parts under a
metallurgical microscope. Both the 20x and 50x objectives were used (for 200x and 500x total magnification). The fiber optic cables were viewed with standard brightfield, and with the addition of a green
filter.
