This is because of the refractive propoties of the immersion oil. The oil works as a sort of secondary lens, magnifying the specimin in addition to the lens alresdy present.

What are the advantages of the low-power objective over the oil immersion objective for viewing fungi or algae?
beacause they gigady at the photoshoot
Why isn't the oil immersion lens used in the hanging-drop procedure?
The purpose to use oil is to make it clear in the microscope. Oil is the quintessential "tool" to make oil immersion magnification possible. Oil has the same refractive index as glass, therefore the light is not bent by the air that would otherwise be in the oil's place.
Why do you use on or slide to be examined with the oil immersion objective?
If you are using the oil immersion objective on a microscope, you must use oil to increase the resolution of the lens. These lens are used at very high magnification.
What is the importance of oil in oil immersion lens of compound microscope?
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.
Why liquid paraffin is prefer while using oil immersion objective?
Liquid paraffin, also known as mineral oil, is commonly used with oil immersion objectives in microscopy because it has a refractive index similar to that of glass and the immersion medium used in the objective. This reduces the loss of light due to refraction and increases the numerical aperture, allowing for better resolution and increased imaging quality. Additionally, liquid paraffin has a high viscosity which helps to prevent the formation of air bubbles and ensures a stable imaging medium.

Why immersion oil use in gram staining?
because immersion oil has same refractive index as like lens glass of microscope so it give clear image of object
What mirror is used for oil immersion?
100x lens is used with oil immersion
Oil immersion is used as a medium between the specimen and the oil immersion objective lens why?
Oil immersion is a technique used to increase the resolution of a microscope.
What are the advantages of the oil immersion objective?
One advantage is that it increases the resolution and clarity of the image, this is very useful for viewing specimens that would otherwise be to small to see without the oil. However it can be very messy to apply the oil and can take time and be rather difficult to clean the slide and the microscope. Moreover the slide could become damaged if vertical movement is used a lot; this is because the work distance between lens and slide is very small.
Which objectives focuses closest to the slide?
oil immersion
What happens when you lower or raise the microscope condenser?
when you lower or raise the condenser of the microscope the object which we like to observe will shows us in a clarity way.. for example Oil Immersion type we see the object very clearly, where as incase of light or bright field the condenser and lens has some distance due to that the object clearence also low as compare to that of Oil Immersion

What oils can be used in oil immersion?
Cedar wood oil

Why should you never look at a wet mount slide with a oil immersion lens?
Wet mounts are not attached to the slide, it is "floating". If you use an oil immersion lens, you have to put a drop of oil on the slide cover so the light can correctly focus. The oil will cause the slide cover to stick to the end of your Oil immersion lens. When you focus the field of focus will stay the same since the slip cover is stuck to the lens. When you go to change objectives, the cover will travel with your oil immersion lense.
