5 Using an Oil Immersion Objective
Oil immersion objectives are labelled with the additional engraving “Oil” and
are immersed in oil between the specimen and the front of the objective.
The immersion oil supplied by Motic is synthetic, non-fluorescing and non-
resining oil, with a refractive index of 1.515
Normally and a few exceptions, cover glass must be used with oil immersion
objectives. Deviations from thickness are not important as a layer of
immersion oil acts as compensation above the cover glass.
The small bottle of oil supplied with every immersion objective facilitates
application of the oil to the cover slip.
Remove any air bubbles in the nozzle of the oil container before use.
Immersion oil must be used sparingly. After the examination, the oil should
be wiped off the objective with a lens cleaning tissue and the residual film
removed with soft cloth moistened with petroleum benzine or absolute
alcohol.
Locate the field of interest, with a lower magnification objective, swing the
objective out of the light path, and add one drop of immersion oil over the
site of the specimen. Swing in the oil immersion objective. Use the fine focus
to make the image sharp.
Freedom from air bubbles must be ensured. To check for air bubbles, remove
an eyepiece, fully open the field and aperture diaphragms, and look at the
exit pupil of the objective within the eyepiece tube. Air bubbles are
recognized by a surrounding black ring. Bubbles may often be dislodged by
moving the slide to and fro or by slightly rocking the revolving nosepiece back
and forth. If the bubbles cannot be successfully cleared, the oil must be
wiped off and replaced with a fresh drop.
