		The many elements that usually make up an objective lens 
		<em>reflect and absorb</em> the collected light, typically
		reducing the overall transmission by 10-20%. So it is important to
		check the transmittance curve for the intended wavelength range,
		for example here is the data for a Nikon 100x1.35 Silicone
		objective (MRD73950):
