Product details
Description
Enhance your laboratory and educational microscopy performance with this high-viscosity Type B immersion oil, formulated to deliver exceptional optical clarity and sharp resolution. Designed specifically for high-magnification compound microscope applications, this specialized formula bridges the gap between the cover slip and the objective lens, minimizing light refraction and maximizing numerical aperture.
The high-viscosity nature of this formulation provides superior longevity on slide setups, ensuring that the fluid stays securely in place across multiple observations without requiring frequent reapplication. Meeting strict international quality standards, it provides safe, reliable compatibility with standard laboratory equipment.
Ideal for science students, professional researchers, and laboratory technicians seeking dependable performance during detailed biological and material examinations.
How to use
- Apply a single small drop directly onto the glass cover slip or slide over the area of interest.
- Carefully rotate the high-magnification oil-immersion objective lens into place, ensuring the lens tip makes contact with the fluid droplet without pressing against the slide.
- After observation, carefully clean the optical surface using approved lens tissue and specialized optical cleaner or solvent.

FAQs
What is the use of oil immersion lens in microscope?
An oil immersion lens is designed to be used with specialized immersion oil placed between the lens and the slide. This technique increases the numerical aperture of the microscope, allowing for significantly higher resolution and clearer visualization of fine microscopic structures at high magnifications.
What is used to clean the immersion oil from the 100x objective lens?
Immersion oil is insoluble in water and must be removed carefully using approved optical lens tissue and appropriate lens cleaner, xylene, naphtha, or turpentine. Always wipe gently in one direction to avoid scratching the delicate objective lens coating.
What is Cargill immersion oil Type A?
Type A immersion oil is a lower viscosity formulation compared to Type B. While Type A flows out quickly and is easier to clean from temporary slide setups, Type B offers higher viscosity, making it better suited for general-purpose microscopy where longevity and fewer re-applications are preferred.
Are the AmScope immersion oil products available on Dropy India authentic USA imports?
Yes, Dropy India directly sources genuine, authentic USA-imported laboratory and personal care products, ensuring you receive high-quality authentic items delivered straight to your doorstep in India.
Can this immersion oil be used with dry or water-immersion lenses?
No, this oil is specifically formulated for oil-immersion objective lenses and compatible light condensers. It should never be used with dry or water-immersion lenses, as it can potentially damage optical components not rated for oil immersion.
