No, it is not okay for the objective lenses to have oil on them. Oil can distort the image and potentially damage the lenses. Clean the lenses with appropriate cleaning solutions to remove any oil residue.
The nosepiece of a microscope holds multiple objective lenses, each with different magnification levels that range from high to low power. Rotating the nosepiece allows you to switch between these objective lenses to adjust the magnification of your specimen.
To change magnification from low to high power on a microscope, the objective lenses are rotated into position. Typically, microscopes have multiple objective lenses with varying magnifications, such as 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x. The user adjusts the magnification by rotating the nosepiece to select the desired lens, ensuring that the specimen remains in focus and adequately illuminated.
The low power objective typically has a lower magnification level (e.g., 4x or 10x) compared to the high power objective (e.g., 40x or 100x), and it usually has a wider field of view. The high power objective will provide a closer magnified view of the specimen but with a narrower field of view. You can often find the magnification level labeled on the side of the objectives.
High power objective lenses are used in microscopy when fine details need to be observed. They are typically used after low power objectives to zoom in on specific areas of interest and provide higher magnification for detailed examination of cells, tissues, or other small objects. However, high power objectives have a smaller field of view and require careful focusing to avoid distortion.
The coarse adjustment knob controls the stage's vertical position in relation to the objective lenses. If improperly used under high power, it can damage the objective lens or the slide due to the rapid movement.

Microscope objective lenses are also known as objective lenses or simply objectives. They are critical components of a microscope, designed to focus light and magnify the specimen being observed. Each objective lens has a specific magnification power, typically ranging from low to high, allowing for detailed examination of samples at varying levels of detail.
The revolving nosepiece of a microscope holds multiple objective lenses that can be rotated into position to magnify the specimen being viewed. This allows for quick and easy changing of magnification levels without having to manually switch lenses.
A compound microscope typically has two to four objective lenses. These lenses vary in magnification power, commonly ranging from low (e.g., 4x or 10x) to high (e.g., 40x or 100x). The user can rotate the nosepiece to switch between these lenses for different levels of magnification.
The revolving nosepiece or turret rotates to change from the low power objective lens to the high power objective lens on a microscope. This component allows for easy switching between different objective lenses without the need to manually remove and insert them.
In microscopy, the high-low objective refers to the use of multiple objective lenses with varying magnifications, typically a high-power lens (e.g., 40x or 100x) and a low-power lens (e.g., 10x or 20x). The low-power objective is used for scanning and locating areas of interest on a specimen, while the high-power objective allows for detailed observation of specific structures. This combination enables efficient examination and detailed analysis of samples in biological and material sciences.
Low power (4x), medium power (10x), and high power (40x) are the three magnifications typically found on a compound microscope's objective lenses.
