5.0 TECHNICAL TIPS FOR OIL IMMERSION MICROSCOPY
• Use a piece of lint-free paper or an eyedropper to place a small droplet of oil directly on the
front lens of the immersion objective. Next, place another droplet of oil on the cover glass
immediately above the area to be imaged.
• Next, quickly rotate the oiled objective into position above the specimen merging the two oil
droplets (one on the sample and one on the objective) into a single pool. The specimen is
now ready for observation and photomicrography.
• As you scan the surface of an oiled microscope slide, periodically observe the position of
the stage with respect to the objective and condenser front lens to assure that there is a
continuous bead of oil between these elements and the microscope slide. When scanning
over a large area on a microscope slide, it is often necessary to reapply some oil to assure
continuity of the imaging medium.
Always strive to make sure that your microscope objective and substage condenser front
lenses are kept clean and free of immersion oil. Use a Q-tip or lint-free paper or cloth to
gently wipe excess oil from the lenses and microscope slide after experiments are finished.
After the oil is removed, use a suitable solvent to remove traces of immersion oil from the
lenses. Failure to clean lenses properly may result in small crystallites forming on the coa-
ted surfaces when immersion oils either dry or collect dust and other contaminating particles
from the atmosphere.
