Labbox immersion oil for microscopy, 100 ml

Precise work in microscopy requires optimum light guidance and the highest image quality. This is exactly where Labbox immersion oil for microscopy, 100 ml comes in. Thanks to its specific refractive index, it enables improved detail recognition and prevents disruptive light refraction. This makes it ideal for professionals in research laboratories, diagnostic centers and other professional areas where high-resolution images are crucial. Compared to alternative products, it impresses with its uniform viscosity and clearly defined refractive index, which is ideally suited to a wide range of microscopy applications.

Efficient support for clear microscopy results

In order to achieve the best results in microscopy, a high-quality immersion oil is essential. This oil has been specially developed to be placed between the sample surface and the objective to enable virtually loss-free light transmission. Due to the minimized loss of light, even finer details in cell structures, tissues or microorganisms can be detected. The composition impresses with a refractive index between 1.472 and 1.480 at 25 °C and thus ensures excellent light refraction at different magnifications. At the same time, the viscosity of 99 to 120 cSt at 40 °C ensures even distribution on the slide and prevents bubble formation.

In addition to its classic use in histological and microbiological research, the oil is also suitable for other areas of application in which light microscopic examinations play a central role. This includes, for example, the examination of bacterial cultures, parasites, crystalline samples or plant tissue. Wherever high-resolution images are essential, the oil contributes to a reliable evaluation of microscopic findings.

Other properties include a chemically stable formulation that is compatible with common staining methods and does not adversely affect the staining agents or the sample under observation. In addition, many laboratories point out that the bottle remains clean and tightly sealed even with regular use, which supports both quality and ergonomics in everyday laboratory work.

Application examples for professional laboratories

Experts working in the field of histopathology, for example, benefit from a clear, high-contrast display of their sectional preparations. Biologists and microbiologists use the oil when examining bacteria, yeasts and fungi or for detailed tissue analyses. In materials science, it can also be used to examine crystalline structures or polished metal surfaces. Teaching laboratories at universities that offer advanced microscope courses also find this immersion oil a reliable addition to demonstrate high-resolution light microscopy methods to students in a practical way.

Frequently asked questions

How to apply the oil correctly

Apply a small drop to the cover glass or directly to the immersion objective. Make sure to clean the sample surface and the objective carefully to avoid unwanted particles or contamination.

What storage conditions are appropriate

The oil should be stored dry and at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, as strong temperature fluctuations can affect the viscosity.

How can the oil be removed after measurement?

Use a soft cloth or lint-free paper slightly moistened with a suitable cleaning agent (e.g. isopropanol). This makes it easy to remove oil residue from both the lens and the cover glass.

Is the immersion oil compatible with all common microscope objectives?

Yes, it is designed for most oil-immersion-capable objectives and meets the standards of modern microscope manufacturers. In many cases, special certifications such as CE markings are already available for the microscopes or the corresponding objectives.

Conclusion

This immersion oil is an indispensable aid for anyone who relies on maximum precision for microscopic analyses. It stabilizes the light path, delivers sharp images and, thanks to its defined viscosity and precise refractive index, is ideally suited to professional laboratory environments. Its wide range of applications is also exciting – from simple laboratory tasks to demanding research projects where every detail counts. Anyone who values reliable results and uncomplicated handling will find an ideal solution for various application scenarios in modern microscopy.
