Is it normal for your lab to not clean oil off of the objectives?

Discusson

I recently did my clinical in three separate labs. Each lab I had been in did not clean the oil off of their objectives! Does anyone else’s lab do this? Is this normal? I could see the oil seeping into the 100x on one of the microscopes leaving a weird streaking that is always present even after being cleaned.
