Its not the 160 mm part, its the physical length of the objective.
Older Nikon and Olympus objectives were built to a length standard
much shorter than the one specified by the DIN. If you mix the two
you will, at some point, ram a modern objective through your slide,

Well... it's just a matter of being careful. I would not consider it a
big
problem as I'm the only user of the mic (and an occasional one).

Then you have correction length problems,

That's may be the real problem if it affects significantly the quality of
the image.

Well, were talking about a Nikon SC as the starting point so that
isn't that hard to beat. However any DIN standard objective you get
will be slightly degraded by the over or under correction of various
factors. It just won't work well. Plus there are not a lot of trust
worthy sellers of used 100X objectives out there.

I would not say that a "*Slightly* degraded" image makes a microscope not to
"work well" especially if it's not intended for professional use. I guess
it's a matter of "semantic nuances".
Anyway I've contacted Nikon and they told me they probably can find optics
for the SE series which, according to them, are optically identical, just a
little longer. Will let you know.
