Cedar wood oil
100x lens is used with oil immersion
Oil immersion is a technique used to increase the resolution of a microscope.
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.
When you desire to remove oil from a slide and an immersion lens after using, for example, cedar oil, you would use Xylene to remove the oil. Natural oils can harden on the lens otherwise.

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.
Carrier oils are neutral (and non-toxic) oils used to dilute and deliver essential oils. Common carrier oils for use with dry or sensitive skin include: almond oil, olive oil, palm oil, & peanut oil. Common carrier oils for normal skin include jojoba oil, sesame oil, and soybean oil. Common carrier oils for oily skin include: grape seed oil, sunflower oil and walnut oil.

There are several different oils used in an airplane. Engine oil, fuel oil, hydraulic oil etc.
the hanging drop procedure uses a thicker slide, which could crack if the oil immersion lens is used. My bio professor worte: hanging drop slides asre too thick to use under oil.
There are several types of oils used in massage therapy. Grape seed oil and coconut oil are some of the most popular types. Other nut oils such as almond, macadamia and pecan are used, as well as olive oil and sesame oil. Pine oil and neroli oil are laos often mixed with a carrier oil and used in aromatherapy massage.
