Does anybody know of a place in Cuyahoga, Lorain or Summit counties which sells microscope objectives?
I eventually want to get into using microscope objectives for macrophotography, but I'm leery of buying used off of eBay.

This is outside your area, but I've had good luck buying some parts from Jay Ritchey (http://ritcheymicroscopeservice.com/). He's northeast of Columbus. He doesn't list any objectives in stock, but he may have leads on what you want.
This place (internet) may also be somewhat more reputable than ebay: https://www.bmisurplus.com/products/cat ... components

Re: Where to Buy Microscope Objectives?
I recently bought a couple of Amscope objectives from Amazon, a 4x and a 10x.
The 4x has received quite a bit of praise in macrophotography circles... and it's less than $20! So far, I've been extremely impressed by it.
More recently, I bought a 10x. This lens is much more specialized and a lot harder to use, particularly in terms of lighting. Still at around $40, it's worth a try.
