Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Question: What is the refractive index of this immersion oil?
Answer: The immersion oil has a refractive index of approximately 1.515, which matches standard glass coverslips for optimal image clarity.

Question: Is this oil suitable for fluorescence microscopy?
Answer: This specific formulation is designed for brightfield and phase contrast microscopy. Use fluorescence-compatible oil for fluorescence applications.

Question: Can this oil be used with automated microscopes?
Answer: Yes, the low viscosity and stability make it suitable for use with automated and manual microscope systems.

Question: How should I clean the oil from the lens?
Answer: Use a soft, lint-free lens tissue dampened with a suitable lens cleaning solution to gently wipe away the oil.

Question: What is the shelf life of this immersion oil?
Answer: When stored properly, the oil maintains its quality for up to 3 years from the manufacturing date.
