Immersion Oil – 100ml (Microscopy Grade)

Immersion Oil is an essential laboratory consumable supplied in a convenient 100ml bottle, specifically designed for use with high‑power light microscopes. Although not assigned a chemical grade, UN number, or CAS number, this oil is formulated to meet the optical requirements of educational microscopy.

When used with a 100× oil immersion objective lens, immersion oil improves image clarity and resolution by reducing light refraction between the microscope slide and the objective lens. This results in sharper, more detailed images, allowing fine structures to be observed clearly.

Easy to apply and remove, Immersion Oil is suitable for routine classroom use and is compatible with standard school microscopes. It is supplied in a practical bottle for controlled dispensing and safe storage in preparation rooms.

Key Features

• High‑quality immersion oil for optical microscopy
• 100ml bottle – ideal for regular classroom use
• Enhances image clarity and resolution
• Designed for use with 100× oil immersion objectives
• No UN number – non‑hazardous for standard handling

Ideal for School Science Lessons

Immersion Oil is particularly valuable for GCSE and A‑Level biology lessons where students are developing microscopy skills and studying cells, tissues, and microorganisms. It supports high‑magnification work and helps students understand the limitations and capabilities of light microscopes.

• Observing cells, bacteria, and stained slides at high magnification
• Teaching correct use of oil immersion objective lenses
• Developing practical microscopy and slide‑handling skills
• Supporting advanced studies of cell structure and detail
• Reinforcing good laboratory cleaning and care procedures

Reliable and easy to use, Immersion Oil is an essential addition to any school science department, enabling clear, high‑resolution microscopy and supporting effective practical biology teaching.
