How immersion oil helps in viewing an object?
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.
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.
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.
What objective focuses closest to the slides?
The oil immersion lens @100x
When would you need to use the oil immersion lens?
Not only does oil immersion increase the microscopic resolution of a specimen, it is also transparent. This allows for optimal microscopy views.
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.
Which objectives focuses closest to the slide?
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.
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 should you do before the oil immersion is rotated into place?
place a drop oil on the side
Should you store the microscope with the oil immersion lens in position?
no
