Öljyimmersiossa
Öljyimmersiossa, meaning "oil immersion" in Finnish, refers to a technique used in microscopy that significantly enhances the resolution and clarity of an image. This method involves placing a drop of immersion oil between the objective lens and the specimen slide. The primary purpose of the oil is to increase the refractive index between the two surfaces, thereby reducing light scattering.
When light passes from the glass slide, through the air, and into the objective lens, some of
This technique is particularly crucial when using high-magnification objective lenses, such as those with 40x or
