AmScope ML-A-A Microscope Immersion Oil, 1/4 Oz

The only time you will need immersion oil is if your microscope comes with a particularly high magnification (eg It depends entirely on the specimen you plan to examine under magnification how the slide is prepared. If you're not familiar with how to use Lysol, you can easily start by using lint from your bellybutton or pockets. Use a search engine to find general information about how to use a microscope with keywords such as "introduction to microscopy" or something like that. You're off to a great start!

There is a specific formulation which has been created to ensure it conforms It is not mineral oil, as Cargille knows the exact formula.

The amount of immersion oil that you use depends on the size of the fibers you are studying. Immersion oil is typically applied when you are viewing your slide with an oil immersion objective, which is usually A crude oil or oleaginous target will be identified with the word oil or oleaginous. An immersion oil layer forms between the slide and the lens of the objective, and when viewed in conjunction with your 10x ocular, you will be seeing the specimen at 1000 times magnification. Using immersion oil in this manner with your other dry objectives is not a good idea If you ruin them, they will never recover. Nevertheless, in one case there is an exception When viewing with lower power objectives, such as 10x or 40x, you can apply a thin drop of oil to a DRY smear, such as blood or other tissue, then place a coverslip over the area of interest to help reduce refraction. As Type A is thinner, you should only use it for this task. Adding another drop of oil on top of your coverslip after placing the oil and applying the coverslip may cause your coverslip to move while scanning at 1000x, so you may want to carefully remove the coverslip before proceeding with 1000x and view the sample directly on the oil. A mount medium such as Permount or another mounting medium can be applied to your dry smear to permanently attach it Permount will reduce refraction, but also allow you to add immersion oil on top of the coverslip should you desire to view the specimen at 1000x with an immersion objective. The thinnest coverslips and the type A oil will give you the best views According to your fiber size and the amount of detail you need to preserve, either a damp mount (either with water, saline or another fluid) or the immersion oil technique, described above, might be desirable to help reduce refraction for three-dimensional

It would be easy for me to do this, but I won't. It was because Amazon decided to remove a comment that they felt was unfavorable towards There is no such thing as a thin-skinned person.
