What are the effects of mirror oil on microscopes
Microscope is a high-precision observation instrument often used to observe food that is considered invisible to the naked eye. Commonly used microscopes include tool microscopes, biological microscopes, metallographic microscopes, electron microscopes, etc. As a frequently used instrument, its maintenance and upkeep are of utmost importance. Below, the editor will explain how to maintain a microscope.
In the maintenance of microscopes, the selection of oil is very important. Generally, cedar oil is commonly used, but the effect of cedar oil is not very good. Therefore, many microscope manufacturers have started to produce and use another non resin synthetic immersion oil. It can provide a non resin based synthetic immersion oil with a refractive index of 1.515-1.518 and suitable dispersion characteristics. Due to its excellent properties and suitability for high-quality oil immersion work, it has gradually replaced the two resin based immersion oils mentioned above.
When dripping lens oil, it is usually done after observation. Even when using non resin immersion oil, the objective lens and cover glass should be carefully cleaned. First, use clean lens wiping paper or dry cloth to wipe off the immersion oil, and then use lens wiping paper or cloth dipped in xylene or gasoline to wipe off the remaining immersion oil. If a collector is used for soaking, the top of the collector and the bottom surface of the glass slide should also be cleaned.
When using immersion oil, attention should also be paid not to mix fresh immersion oil with immersion oil that has been left for a long time, otherwise it will form dark lines and significantly affect the quality of microscope imaging.
