What mirror is used for oil immersion?

A high-quality microscope objective lens with a specialized coating is typically used for oil immersion microscopy. The lens is designed to work with a specific type of oil (usually immersion oil) to enhance resolution and numerical aperture by reducing light loss due to refraction. Oil immersion microscopy is commonly used for high-magnification studies requiring precise imaging, such as in medical or biological research.


Oil immersion is used as a medium between the specimen and the oil immersion objective lens why?

Oil immersion is used to minimize light refraction and increase resolution by eliminating the air gap between the lens and the specimen. The oil has a refractive index close to that of glass, allowing more light to enter the lens and improving the quality of the image.


What is g2 in mitosis?

G2 phase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. G2 phase. G2 phase, or pre-mitotic phase, is the third and final subphase of Interphase in the cell cycle directly preceding Mitosis. It follows the successful completion of S phase, during which the cell's DNA is replicated.


When using the oil immersion lens you should raise the objective lenses for easy application of an oil droplet to the slide is this true or false?

False. When using the oil immersion lens, you should first bring the lens close to the slide without touching it, then apply a small drop of immersion oil directly onto the slide. After that, you should carefully raise the lens into the oil droplet to ensure proper immersion and optimal resolution.


Why immersion oil use in gram staining?

Immersion oil is used in Gram staining to enhance the resolution of the microscopic image. It helps to reduce the refraction of light, resulting in a clearer and sharper image of the bacterial cells. This is particularly useful when observing Gram-stained slides under oil immersion microscopy.
