Using oil on a 4x objective lens is generally not recommended, as these lenses are designed for air use and not for immersion. Applying oil could lead to improper focusing and image distortion. Additionally, it may damage the lens or the oil could contaminate the microscope. For optimal results, oil immersion techniques should be reserved for higher magnification lenses, typically 100x.
What else can I help you with?
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 happens if you try to use the coarse adjustment when the 10x lens is in place?
One thing that can happen if you use the coarse adjustment while the oil immersion objective is in place is that the slide will end up breaking. It is better to use the fine adjustment.
How would you clean the surface of a low power objective that had oil on it?
To clean a low power objective with oil on it, use a lens tissue or cotton swab lightly moistened with optical cleaning solution or alcohol. Gently wipe the surface in a circular motion to remove the oil, being careful not to scratch the lens. Finish by drying the lens with a clean, dry cloth.
When viewing a slide under oil immersion it is best to use which objective?
When viewing a slide under oil immersion, it is best to use the 100x objective lens. This high-power lens allows for greater magnification and resolution, making it ideal for observing fine details in the specimen. The use of immersion oil helps to reduce refraction of light and improves image clarity by providing a medium with a similar refractive index to glass.
A magnification of 100 requires the use of what objective?
A magnification of 100x typically requires the use of a 100x objective lens on a microscope. Different microscopes may have varying objective lens magnifications, but for a total magnification of 100x, the 100x objective is commonly used.
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.
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.
What happens if you try to use the coarse adjustment when the 10x lens is in place?
One thing that can happen if you use the coarse adjustment while the oil immersion objective is in place is that the slide will end up breaking. It is better to use the fine adjustment.

A total magnification of 100x requires the use of the 10x ocular lens with which objective?
To achieve a total magnification of 100x, you would use a 10x ocular lens (eyepiece) with a 10x objective lens. The total magnification is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens (10x) by the magnification of the objective lens (10x).
When viewing a slide under oil immersion it is best to use which objective?
When viewing a slide under oil immersion, it is best to use the 100x objective lens. This high-power lens allows for greater magnification and resolution, making it ideal for observing fine details in the specimen. The use of immersion oil helps to reduce refraction of light and improves image clarity by providing a medium with a similar refractive index to glass.
Why is it important to use the fine adjustment knob when using the highest power objective lens?
So you do not crack the high power objective lens - this lens is very fragile and expensive.
A magnification of 100 requires the use of what objective?
A magnification of 100x typically requires the use of a 100x objective lens on a microscope. Different microscopes may have varying objective lens magnifications, but for a total magnification of 100x, the 100x objective is commonly used.
Why should the oil Immersion objective be cleaned immediately adeer use?
The oil immersion objective should be cleaned immediately after use to prevent the buildup of oil residue, which can compromise the lens's optical quality and lead to distortion in future observations. Additionally, leftover oil can attract dust and debris, further degrading the performance of the microscope. Immediate cleaning also helps maintain the longevity of the objective lens by preventing damage from hardened or dried oil. Lastly, routine cleaning ensures that the microscope remains in optimal condition for accurate and reliable results.
What objective would you use to see the smallest part of a specimen?
To see the smallest part of a specimen, you would use the highest power objective lens available on the microscope, typically the 100x oil immersion objective. This lens allows for greater magnification and resolution, enabling the observation of fine details at the cellular or subcellular level. Additionally, using immersion oil helps to reduce light refraction and improve image clarity at this high magnification.
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.
Why should the oil immersion objective be cleaned immediately after use?
Cleaning the oil immersion objective immediately after use is important to prevent dried oil residue from accumulating and affecting image quality. It also helps to maintain the lens in good condition and prevent contamination between samples. Delaying cleaning can make it more difficult to remove the dried oil and may lead to damage or reduced performance of the objective.
