I think both Brad's and your explanations were very useful, thank you.

There seem to be a variety of possible combinations of extra optics in the
extension tubes that one could add: x0.25, x0.5, x0.75, x1, x1.2, 1.5, x2.5,
x3.3, x4, x5.
Presumably these also have an impact on the resolution of the
image projected on the sensor. Is that just a multiplicative effect only, or
it there further deterioration of the image resolution due to these?

On a related note, I found the information of the objectives resolution (in
the Olympus BX50 manual, page 24). Given that this information is, curiously,
not in the Olympus website, if anybody needs it, just send me a private mail.
