Immersion oil is only required when using a light manuscript at 1000 times magnification (10x from occular lens and 100x from objective lens). At 1000x magnification the image will have poor resolution (loook fuzzy) without the use of immersion oil. This is because the cover slip on the sample and air have different refractory indexes. The light scatter that occurs during the transition from glass to air is noticable at such a high magnification. Immersion oil has a refractive index very similar to the cover slip, thus reducing the light scatter as the light passes from the sample to the objective lens.
Not only does oil immersion increase the microscopic resolution of a specimen, it is also transparent. This allows for optimal microscopy views.
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.
The total magnification would be 750X (100X objective multiplied by 7.5X eyepiece). Oil immersion objectives are specifically designed for use with immersion oil to minimize light refraction and increase resolution when viewing specimens with high magnification.
The purpose to use oil is to make it clear in the microscope. Oil is the quintessential "tool" to make oil immersion magnification possible. Oil has the same refractive index as glass, therefore the light is not bent by the air that would otherwise be in the oil's place.

A 100x oil immersion objective is best for studying bacteria under a microscope as it provides the highest magnification and resolution needed to observe bacterial morphology and structure in detail. Additionally, the use of oil immersion helps to reduce the refraction of light and improve image clarity.

The recommended type of immersion oil to use for microscopy is colorless, odorless, and has a refractive index closely matching that of glass, typically with a refractive index of 1.515.
A low power objective has a wider field of view and is easier to use because it doesn't require immersion oil. This makes it convenient for quickly scanning samples or observing larger structures on a slide without the need for oil immersion.
Leaving immersion oil on the objective can attract dust and debris, which can impact imaging quality and potentially damage the lens. In addition, it can cause the oil to harden and become difficult to remove, leading to maintenance issues. Cleaning the oil off after use ensures optimal performance and prolongs the lifespan of the objective.
it runs with hydraulics .the hydraulics contains some oil immersion , fluids.
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.
The total magnification would be 750X (100X objective multiplied by 7.5X eyepiece). Oil immersion objectives are specifically designed for use with immersion oil to minimize light refraction and increase resolution when viewing specimens with high magnification.
No, it is not recommended to store the microscope with the oil immersion lens in position. It can lead to the oil drying out and potentially damaging the lens or affecting the quality of future observations. It is best to clean the lens and remove excess oil after use before storing the microscope.
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.
