What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
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.
What must NEVER be used when using the medium or high power objectives?
Oil immersion should never be used with medium or high power objectives. Oil is only used with oil immersion objectives to maximize resolution by reducing light refraction. Using oil with medium or high power objectives could damage the lenses and affect image quality.
What should you do before the oil immersion lens is rotated into place?
Before rotating the oil immersion lens into place, make sure that the specimen is in focus using a lower magnification objective. Ensure that the area you wish to observe is centered in the field of view and add a small drop of immersion oil to the slide.
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.

What is the function of the oil used with the oil immersion lens?
So that you do not scratch the lens because at 100x magnification it is very very close to the slide.
What objective focuses closest to slide?
The oil immersion lens @100x
Why you must be careful when focusing the oil-immersion objecctive?
The oil might smear and ruin the slide.
Why isn't the oil immersion lens used in hanging drop procedure?
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.
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.
Which of the objectives comes closest to a specimen and is most likely to break a slide if proper precautions are not taken?
The oil immersion objective comes closest to the specimen and is most likely to break a slide if proper precautions are not taken. Oil immersion objectives require the addition of immersion oil between the objective lens and the slide to improve resolution, and without the correct amount of oil or if the slide is not handled carefully, it can lead to damage or breakage of the slide.
Function of a oil immersion objective in microscope?
Oil immersion objectives are used in microscopes to increase the resolution of the image by reducing the refraction of light as it passes from the glass slide to the objective lens, minimizing distortion and increasing clarity. The higher refractive index of the oil (typically immersion oil with a refractive index of 1.515) helps to capture more light and reduce scattering, resulting in a sharper image. Oil immersion objectives are typically used with high numerical aperture lenses for maximum resolution in microscopy.
What type of oil is normally used as immersion oil?
Immersion oil typically used in microscopy is a type of mineral oil or synthetic oil with a refractive index that closely matches that of glass. This allows for minimal light refraction and improved image clarity when using high-powered objectives. Commonly, a specific type of immersion oil called cedarwood oil or synthetic immersion oil is used for this purpose.
What oils can be used in oil immersion?
Cedar wood oil
