What advantages do oil immersion objectives offer?
Short Answer
The oil immersion objective increases the refractive index of the, and hence we can achieve more NA and therefore a greater resolution.

Propose a way to study the function of the rods alone, given they can sense light about 1000 times dimmer than the cones.
A 7.5binocular produces an angular magnification of-7.50 , acting like a telescope. (Mirrors are used to make the image upright.) If the binoculars have objective lenses with a 75.0cm focal length, what is the focal length of the eyepiece lenses?
Find the distance between the objective and eyepiece lenses in the telescope in the above problem needed to produce a final image very far from the observer, where vision is most relaxed. Note that a telescope is normally used to view very distant objects.
A large reflecting telescope has an objective mirror with a 10.0m radius of curvature. What angular magnification does it produce when a 3.00m focal length eyepiece is used?
If the cornea is to be reshaped (this can be done surgically or with contact lenses) to correct myopia, should its curvature be made greater or smaller? Explain. Also explain how hyperopia can be corrected.
