Immersol 518 F or 518 N?

Choose Immersol 518 F when performing fluorescence microscopy or when very low intrinsic fluorescence of the immersion medium is important.

Choose Immersol 518 N for routine transmitted-light microscopy where fluorescence performance is not the primary requirement.

Not sure which immersion oil you need?

For fluorescence microscopy, Immersol 518 F is the recommended choice due to its very low intrinsic fluorescence. For routine brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast, and DIC microscopy, ZEISS Immersol 518 N provides a more economical standard immersion oil option.
