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.

∙ 11y agoProper focal lenght provides the best resolution of object in focus. oil immersion is used so that light that passes from condensor of microscope onto objective lenses wont' get refracted. In other words, light with proper focal length passes directly to objective lense throug oil immersion, so that light won't deflected sideways before entering objective lense.

What lens of a compound microscope is closest to the object being examined?
The 'object lens' in a compound microscope is closest to the object being examined.
What way does a compound microscope differ from a simple microscope?
A compound microscope consists of several lenses operating together, whereas a simple microscope is one lens, like a magnifying glass. A compound microscope gives higher magnification and also better resolution than a simple microscope.
What is another name for the eyepiece of a microscope?
AnswerOcular Lens is another name for the eyepiece of a compound microscope.
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.
Does a compound microscope have only one lens?
no. a simple microscope has one lens. a compound microscope has two or more lens
Should you store the microscope with the oil immersion lens in position?
no
How does a compound microscope different from a simpel microscope?
a compound microscope has two or more lens while a simple microscope has only one lens
Does the microscope get stored with oil immersion lens in position over the stage?
no
What is An advantage of a compound light microscope over a single lens microscope?
A compound light microscope is able to provide more clarity and detail than a single lens microscope, which is its advantage. Compound refers to the microscope having more than one lens.
A light microscope that has two or more lenses is called a?
binoculars Binocular refers to having two ocular lens tubes. Compound microscope is any microscope with more than one lens.
