Product Review

This microscope immersion oil contains 1/4 Oz (7ml) Type B immersion oil, generally used with a microscope objectives for better microscopy images.

Note: how to clean Microscopes Immersion Oil? If you are using a 100X objective with immersion oil, just simply "swipe" the excess oil off the lens with a kimwipe after use. Occasionally dust may build up on the lightly oiled surface so if you wish to completely remove the oil then you must use an oil soluble solvent. For the Type A or B immersion oil, you can use Naptha, Xylene, or turpentine (use very small amounts on the kimwipe). Do not use water, alcohol or acetone as the oil is insoluble to these solvents. Consult the MSDS info that is supplied with your immersion oil to see what solvents are recommended. To remove other oily substances, we recommend using the detergent called Wisk and prepare a solution of 1 part Wisk to 100 parts water.

A drop of immersion oil between the slide and condenser, and between the slide and objective lens, provides a distortion-free path for light. Safe for all lenses, this medium-viscosity immersion oil is slightly thicker than Type A. The refractive index is 1.5150, the same as that of glass. It can be easily cleaned from slides with a bit of xylene on a lens tissue and is supplied in a bottle with applicator tip so no pipet is necessary.
