 All of these objective lenses have been designed with large working distance.  A unique feature is that the working distance is exactly the same for all media. All of these objective lenses have been designed with large working distance.  A unique feature is that the working distance is exactly the same for all media.
  
-For most objective lenses, the WD depends on the medium's RI due to refraction at the objective/media surface.  Realizing this was going to be a practical issue we specifically designed both objectives to have uniform WD for all RI.  The optical implementation of this feature is straightforward: the first element of the objective is concave with radius of curvature centered on the focal plane.  Thus to first order there is no refraction at that surface and hence the WD is constant for all RI.  For the same reason, there is no intrinsic spherical aberration as the medium RI changes, unlike objective lenses with a flat first surface.+For most objective lenses, the WD depends on the medium's RI due to refraction at the objective/media surface.  Realizing this was going to be a practical issue we specifically designed all of these objectives to have uniform WD for all RI.  The optical implementation of this feature is straightforward: the first element of the objective is concave with radius of curvature centered on the focal plane.  Thus to first order there is no refraction at that surface and hence the WD is constant for all RI.  For the same reason, there is no intrinsic spherical aberration as the medium RI changes, unlike objective lenses with a flat first surface.
