Is it important to choose the highest available N.A. objective for video microscopy of minute specimen details?
Yes. Although the image observed through the eyepiece, with the condenser aperture 100% open, may have so much glare that details become invisible, the “information” probably is there. Video enhancement techniques, controlling brightness and contrast, can process this “information” and render and excellent, high resolution, visible video image of the details.
