Would like to switch out the objectives for my swift 380T, any reccomendations? (mander.xyz)

I will be making sure they are the right objectives in every way before I purchase anything. I'd just like to know where I can start looking. I added a 60x a while back, it was really cheap but works surprisingly well considering I payed like 20$ CAD for it. Parfocality is just about the same as my stock objectives, just a slight turn of the fine focus. That said, I'd like to spend more and get a whole new set of higher quality objectives.

I'd love to hear feedback if someone here has switched out objectives on this particular model. I do not need to hear that my microscope sucks haha, I'm a hobbyist so its not a big concern of mine at this time.

This one just shot out of me. Idk how it happened so fast. I've gotta slow down at some point. I was really excited to show y'all my first attempt at darkfield.

Here's some pics to show how I did it.

Thanks for the support last time. Idk how quick I'll make these, so if ya feel I'm clogging your feed tell me. I'll post less.

Edit: also does anyone know if the rotifer is pooping or laying an egg or what at 5:51 in the video?
