Series M High Dispersion RI 1.705 to 1.800

Description

The Series M High Dispersion RI 1.705 to 1.800 range consists of specialised, high refractive index immersion liquids designed for advanced optical microscopy, geological research, and high-numerical-aperture applications. Sourced from leading global optical manufacturers, this series provides precise refractive index matching across the 1.705 to 1.800 range for specialised laboratory analysis

Among the options in this range, RI 1.780 is one of the most widely used liquids in the series. It serves as a dedicated high-index immersion oil for specialised high-resolution microscopy optics, such as the Olympus 100x/1.70 objective. Achieving a high numerical aperture (NA = 1.70) requires special optical glass and matching high-index liquids to eliminate optical distortion and maximise resolution.

Technical Specifications & Features

• Primary Compatibility: High-NA objectives (including Olympus 100x/1.70 objectives)

• Applications: Advanced microscopy, material identification, educational research, mineralogy

Key Applications of Series M High Dispersion Liquids

The Series M High Dispersion RI 1.705 to 1.800 series is utilised across academic research institutions, industrial testing facilities, and specialised microscopy labs:

• High-Numerical-Aperture Microscopy: Enables ultra-high-resolution imaging when paired with specialised high-NA objectives and custom glass substrates.

• Particle & Mineral Identification: Facilitates exact refractive index verification for complex minerals, synthetic crystals, and unknown solids.

• Academic & Industrial Research: Supports advanced biological, geological, and material science studies requiring precise light manipulation.

Important Sourcing & Availability Information

Due to customer demand, McCrone UK has started maintaining a limited UK stock of RI 1.780 in the smallest volume (7.4 ml). RI 1.780 (7.4 ml) is available to order directly through our website, with limited quantities maintained in our stock.

Please note that we have permanently discontinued the supply of hazardous formulations within the Series M High Dispersion RI 1.705 to 1.800 range (such as RI 1.790) due to strict import regulations, complex compliance procedures, and excessive hazardous shipping surcharges.

For any other non-hazardous refractive index liquid in this series, customers are very welcome to send us an email inquiry. Because we source non-hazardous Series M liquids exclusively on customer demand, our team will check directly with the manufacturer to confirm current availability, lead times, and pricing before placing your order.
