This item contains 1/4 Oz (7ml) Type A immersion oil, 280 Kimwipes wipers, pre-cleaned 72 blank slides and 100 coverslips. Type A immersion oil, generally used with a microscope objectives for better microscopy images. A drop of immersion oil between the slide and condenser, and between the slide and objective lens, provides a distortion-free path for light. Safe for all lenses, this medium-viscosity immersion oil is slightly lighter than Type B. The refractive index is 1.5150, the same as that of glass. It is supplied in a bottle with applicator tip so no pipet is necessary and can be easily cleaned from slides with a bit of xylene on a lens tissue.

If you are using a 100X objective with immersion oil, just simply "swipe" the excess oil off the lens with the Kimwipes wipers included after use. Occasionally dust may build up on the lightly oiled surface so if you wish to completely remove the oil then you must use an oil soluble solvent. For the Type A or B immersion oil, you can use Naptha, Xylene, or turpentine (AmScope Model # CLS). Use very small amounts on a Kimwipes wiper. Do not use water, alcohol or acetone as the oil is insoluble to these solvents. Consult the MSDS info that is supplied with your immersion oil to see what solvents are recommended. To remove other oily substances, we recommend using AmScope's 3-in-1 high-performance cleaning kit or the detergent called Wisk and prepare a solution of 1 part Wisk to 100 parts water.
