The Atom Scientific Immersion Oil Basic R.I. 1.5185 is a high-quality, non-drying, and non-hardening oil designed to enhance the resolution and clarity of images observed under high-power microscopy. Its refractive index is precisely matched to that of glass coverslips and objective lenses, ensuring optimal light transmission and minimal distortion during microscopic examinations.
Key Features:
- Refractive Index (R.I.): 1.5185, aligning with standard glass components to facilitate accurate light refraction and improved image clarity.
- Viscosity: Approximately 1,288 centistokes (cSt), providing an ideal consistency for easy application and stable placement between the slide and objective lens.
- Transmission Range: Effective light transmission between 400 nm and 900 nm, suitable for visible light microscopy applications.
- Appearance: Slight straw-colored, clear, and bright, free from particulates, ensuring no interference with image quality.
Applications:
- Microscopy: Enhances image resolution and clarity in high-magnification microscopy by reducing light refraction and loss.
- Clinical Diagnostics: Assists in the detailed examination of biological specimens, aiding in accurate diagnosis.
- Research Laboratories: Facilitates precise observation of microscopic structures in various scientific studies.
Usage Guidelines:
- Application: Apply a small drop of immersion oil directly onto the coverslip over the area of interest.
