ZEISS Immersion oil Immersol 518 N, bottle 100 ml

Application:
This oil is designed for use with oil immersion objectives, typically 100x / NA ~1.25, as well as 63x or 40x oil objectives, and serves to enhance resolution in microscopic observations.

Industries & Research Fields:

• Life Science Research / Bioimaging
• Cell Biology
• Biotechnology / Microbial Biotechnology
• Food Microbiology / Quality Control & Hygiene
• Histology
• Hematology
• Microbiology
• Pathology / Infectious Pathology
• Cytology
• Universities / Schools
• Naturopaths / Darkfield Microscopy with Darkfield Condenser
• Materials Science / Semiconductor Analysis

Optical Properties:
The refractive index of the oil (n~1.518 at 23°C) is very close to that of glass, minimizing light loss and significantly improving image quality and resolution of specimens.

Key Benefits:

• Optimal Image Quality: Ester oils and synthetic hydrocarbons ensure transparent and stable optical properties.
• Broad Color Stability: Resistant to common stains such as Giemsa, Leishman, May-Grünwald, Alizarin Red S, Eosin, Hematoxylin, and others.
• Easy Handling: Simple to clean with petroleum ether 40/60, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, or isopropanol.
• Safe and Environmentally Friendly: Halogen-free and suitable for proper disposal.

This oil is ideal for laboratories and educational institutions that value precise microscopy, long-lasting specimens, and safe handling.
