Oil immersion

Produc Name:Oil immersion
Product Description:In light microscopy, oil immersion is a technique used to increase the resolution of a microscope. This is achieved by immersing both the objective lens and the specimen in a transparent oil of high refractive index, thereby increasing the numerical aperture of the objective lens.
Immersion oils are transparent oils that have specific optical and viscosity characteristics necessary for use in microscopy. An oil immersion objective is an objective lens specially designed to be used in this way. Many condensers also give optimal resolution when the condenser lens is immersed in oil.
