We put felt rings over our objective and that keeps all of the oil off the
nosepiece. If the diameter is similar to the Zeiss objectives I will send
you a couple.

Subject: Immersion Oil Mess

Hi

Our facility have a few confocals and wide-fields, and despite how many
reminders we send, or how many notices we put up, we haven't solved the
problems of some users using too much immersion oil and causing very messy
objectives.  

Zeiss sell "immersion suction rings" which are useful on our Zeiss, but
we've got two Leica SP5s, which tend to be the messiest.  Does anyone have a
solution for messy objectives?  

Thanks!!
Ki
