Immersion oils
Immersion oils are essential for routine laboratory work, especially in hematology, cytology and microbiology. They are commonly used for high scale magnifications in order to secure high resolution and a clear image. There are several types of immersion oils that differ according to viscosity and certain properties required by different microscopy techniques. They all have a common refractive index of 1.5150, equal to the refractive index of glass.
-
Cedarwood oil
Natural immersion oil for microscopical analysis with high viscosity of 1500-2200 cSt.
* in order to conserve and protect our environment, we advise using Immersion oil type C -
Immersion oil type 37
Immersion oil for microscopical analysis with optimal refractive index and viscosity of 1250 cSt at 37°C.
-
Immersion oil type C
Immersion oil for microscopical analysis with high viscosity of 1500-2200 cSt.
* excellent synthetic substitution for natural immersion oils, such as Cedarwood oil -
Immersion oil type FF
Immersion oil for microscopical analysis in fluorescence microscopy because of the complete absence of fluorescence.
-
Immersion oil, tropical grade
Immersion oil for microscopical analysis in tropical climates with an optimal refractive index at 27-29°C.
