High Clarity Optical Medium for Light Microscopy
Product Overview
Immersion Oil Type A is a high-quality optical-grade oil specifically formulated for use with 100x oil immersion objectives in light microscopy. With a refractive index closely matched to glass (n ≈ 1.515 at 23°C), it minimizes light refraction and distortion, allowing for maximum resolution, clarity, and contrast during high-magnification imaging.
Type A immersion oil is designed for routine brightfield microscopy, including clinical, histological, hematological, and microbiological applications. It is low-viscosity, allowing for easy application and even spreading between the slide and objective lens without trapping air bubbles. It resists drying, crystallization, and yellowing, ensuring long-term performance and optical stability.
Key Features:
- Optimized for use with 100x oil immersion objectives
- Refractive index of 1.515 (± 0.002) at 23°C
- Enhances resolution, image sharpness, and contrast
- Low-viscosity formula for smooth application and easy cleanup
- Ideal for brightfield, H&E slides, Gram stains, and cellular detail work
- Compatible with glass slides, cover slips, and standard optical lenses
- Non-drying and non-yellowing for consistent optical clarity
Immersion Oil Type A is an essential reagent for achieving precision microscopy, ensuring high-resolution visualization of fine cellular and microbial structures in clinical diagnostics, research labs, and educational settings.
