The use of oil with certain high power objective lenses increases

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The use of oil with high power objective lenses is called oil immersion microscopy. It increases the amount of light that enters the objective lens by minimizing the refraction of light as it passes through the slide and into the lens, resulting in a brighter and more detailed image. Magnification, resolution, and contrast may also be improved, but the primary benefit is increased light intensity.
