Immersion oil 100ml
Principle
Immersion media for microscopy have nearly identical refractive indices as
glass. Immersion oils practically eliminate light beam deflection so that the
effectiveness of the lens is considerably increased.
Application
When microscoping, first locate the part of the dry specimen to be
investigated. Swing the lens holder away, place a drop of immersion oil on the
specimen at the point to be observed and return the lens to their original
position. When finished, clean the lens and the specimen with ethanol.
Technical note
The microscope used should meet the requirements of a medical diagnostic
laboratory.
Specimen must be absolutely anhydrous prior to microscoping with immersion
oil, dry specimen thoroughly or mount it using a cover glass, to prevent
turbidity.
