How Using Oil Immersion Microscopy Can Increase Your Resolution

#39 — Oil immersion microscopy can help increase your resolution in light microscopy. Which, in turn, can lead to better images; and who doesn’t want nicer microscopy images? But do you know why we use immersion oil and objectives for high-power magnification? And do you know how to use an immersion objective correctly?Listen to this episode of Mentors At Your Benchside to understand the theory behind oil immersion microscopy and get six easy tips on perfecting your oil immersion microscopy.Visit the original article for advice on how to get better microscopy images using oil immersion.
