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 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.


What advantage does low power objective have over oil immersion objective?

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.


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.


What is OIO in microscope?

oIO, stands for oil immersion objective. it was discovered during 1870. the OIO, magnifies the actual size of the specimen , 100 times, with the aid of placing a drop of ceddar oil at the top of the coverslip in slide. Remember that the OIO objective must touch the surface of the oil.


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.


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.


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.


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 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.
