because the oil have a refractive index near the glass one so we can work at high power without lossing any details by eliminating the air gap between the the specimen and the objective lens >>>> a.sh (iug)

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.


Is the low power objective lens the shortest objective lens?

scanning objective


What objective focuses closest to slide?

The oil immersion lens @100x


Which objective focuses closest to the slide when it is in focus?

The objective lens that focuses closest to the slide is 100x, it has the longest lens so the highest power. Be careful not to crack the slide and make sure you use oil if it is an oil immersion lens.


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.


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 objective lens is the longest?

The lens with the greatest (positive) curvature. The lens with the highest diopter.


What is the function of oil immersion objective in a microscope?

The oil immersion objective in a microscope is used to gather more light from the specimen and increase resolution. By using oil with similar optical properties as glass, the objective lens can capture more detail and produce sharp images of the specimen.


What objective lens provides the highest magnification?

The oil immersion objective lens provides the highest magnification in a compound light microscope, typically ranging from 90x to 100x. This lens requires a drop of oil to be placed on the slide to reduce light refraction and increase image clarity and magnification.


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.


Why it is necessary to wipe off the immersion oil after using the oil immersion objective?

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.


If the field of view of the low power 10x objective lens is 4 mm what would the field of view be for the oil immersion 100x lens?

The field of view of the oil immersion 100x lens would be 0.4 mm. This is because the field of view decreases as the magnification increases.
