The Higher the Magnification - The More Detail You'll See

Magnification can represent combinations of lenses including objective, ocular, and auxiliary lenses. The magnification ranges described here may include these combinations.

Compound Microscopes may include additional eyepieces (ocular lenses) to expand the total magnification range.

Stereo and other Inspection Microscopes may include additional eyepieces and auxiliary lenses including Barlow lenses to expand the total magnification range.

Camera Types

Various types of cameras are available. Cameras intended to be used with computers will use USB, wi-fi, or LAN to connect to the computer, and typically include specialized software. Cameras with HDMI, VGA, or analog video interfaces can be attached directly to a compatible display device such as a monitor or television, and do not require a computer to operate.

Camera Pixels

Also referred to as camera resolution, the number of pixels represents the maximum size of images which can be displayed or recorded by a camera. The value is displayed using MP (megapixels).

Key Features

  • Low-viscosity immersion oil for high-magnification microscopes
  • Easy application and cleanup make it ideal for beginners and occasional users
  • Refractive index ND=1.515
  • Volume: 1 fl.oz. (30ml)

Cargille Type A immersion oil is the ideal choice for general-purpose microscopy. The low viscosity lends itself to fast, reliable application without the worry of producing bubbles. The easy application and cleanup makes Type A immersion oil ideal for students and occasional users.

Immersion oil is necessary for high magnification microscopy when using oil-immersion objective lenses. Do not use with dry or water-immersion lenses. Immersion oil should also be used on oil-compatible light-condensers when working at high magnifications, as the oil ensures a consistent refractive index throughout the optical path, providing the highest resolution possible. For beginners and occasional users, Type A low-viscosity immersion oil is recommended because of its ease of use. For advanced and frequent users, Type B high-viscosity immersion oil provides better longevity for use with multiple slides without the need to re-apply.

Immersion oil is not soluble in water. To thin or remove, use naptha, xylene, or turpentine, including Sparkle cleaner. Always follow standard safety protocols.

  • Refractive Index: 1.515 (589.3nm @ 23°C)
  • Viscosity: 150 cSt ±10% @ 23°C
  • Volume: 1 fl.oz. (30ml)
  • Storage Temperature: 4°C to 40°C
  • Use only with objective lenses designed for oil-immersion.
  • For laboratory use only. Not for consumption.
