Light microscopes commonly need oil for two reasons. The first is that a dab of oil will keep a specimen still on the slide holding it in place and allowing for easier manipulation. The second is that at high magnification, the large change in refractive index from the glass lens, to air, to the slide limits the resolution of the image. With oil between the lens and the sample, higher resolution is achieved.

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.
How can you prevent your slide from slipping on the stage on a microscope?
Most microscope stages have clips for holding the slide. If you do not have any clips on your microscope stage, you can use tape to hold the slide in place.

How do you use a microscope to view cells?
Use the fine adjustment on ur microscope its the small knob
How do you remove oil from the slide and oil immerssion lens after use?
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.
Use of glass slide?
it is use to place an item on and put it under a microscope to view
Which lens should you use to first look at a slide on a microscope?
The lens that you should use to first look at a slide on a microscope is a low power lens then move on to a higher power for more clarity.
