Just an update.

They are 5 years old and have 2 employees. They appear to be a dealer/distributor for View Solutions Inc.

I was able to find the objective from some other sources,

http://www.digital-usb-microscopes.com/ysc01-o-IR18091131-microscope-10X-Infinity-Super-Long-Working-Distance-Plan-Apochromatic-NIR-ObjectivePlan-Apochromatic-Metallurgical-Objective.html

https://microscopes.massmeasure.com/View-Solutions/IR18091131?page=45&limit=12

And finally, https://bio-equip.cn/enshow1equip.asp?equipid=69944&division=499 which leads us at least one step further in this rabbit hole: Beijing View Solutions Instrument Co.,LTD

So it's a no name objective out of China, which doesn't automatically disqualify the quality, but it does seem like a significant risk. It's hard to tell if Beijing View Solutions Instrument Co.,LTD manufacturers it, or is a sort of an exporter and sources it from yet another company.
