HI Richard:

I believe "oil immersion objectives" are a feature of microscopes, not
telescopes, right?

Yes. There is a technique in microscopy where oil (don't remember which one)
is placed between the objective or nose piece and the specimen being examined.
I believe it increases the contrast of the object.
