I havent use plastic coverslips for anything in a long time, but working with IBIDI chambers, it seems not immersion oils are compatible. The company provide a list of brands and products that are compatible with their slides. So Iguess the answer would be, not all immersion oils are the same, some may not be compatible.

Hello Listers,

Forgive my ignorance but did anyone used plastic coverslips for
immunofluorescence? If so would standard immerion oil work?
Thanks in advance!
