  2. Oil immersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_immersion

    Oil-immersion objective in use. From the above it is understood that oil between the specimen and the objective lens improves the resolving power by a factor 1/n. Objectives specifically designed for this purpose are known as oil immersion objectives. Oil immersion objectives are used only at very large magnifications that require high ...

  3. Magnification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnification

    With an optical microscope having a high numerical aperture and using oil immersion, the best possible resolution is 200 nm corresponding to a magnification of around 1200×. Without oil immersion, the maximum usable magnification is around 800×. For details, see limitations of optical microscopes.

  4. Dark-field microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark-field_microscopy

    In optical microscopes a darkfield condenser lens must be used, which directs a cone of light away from the objective lens. To maximize the scattered light-gathering power of the objective lens, oil immersion is used and the numerical aperture (NA) of the objective lens must be less than 1.0. Objective lenses with a higher NA can be used but ...

  5. Bright-field microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bright-field_microscopy

    The practical limit to magnification with a light microscope is around 1300×. ... Use of an oil-immersion objective lens and a special immersion oil placed on a ...

  6. Objective (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective_(optics)

    Some microscopes use an oil-immersion or water-immersion lens, which can have magnification greater than 100, and numerical aperture greater than 1. These objectives are specially designed for use with refractive index matching oil or water, which must fill the gap between the front element and the object. These lenses give greater resolution ...

    A major rockslide prompted two highways to be shut down in Colorado over the weekend and witnesses captured the frightening moment on video. Highways 96 and 165 from Wetmore to Westcliffe in ...

  8. Optical microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

    Some microscopes make use of oil-immersion objectives or water-immersion objectives for greater resolution at high magnification. These are used with index-matching material such as immersion oil or water and a matched cover slip between the objective lens and the sample. The refractive index of the index-matching material is higher than air ...
