Hi all,

Does anyone know whether Olympus sells immersion oil to use with their objectives that is rated for a temperature of 37 deg C? I've only been able to find Olympus oil rated for use at 23 deg C: https://www.olympus-lifescience.com/en/optics/immoil-f30cc/

Assuming that most users are PhD students who are not going to hyper-optimize their PSFs and just want to get on with their biology experiments, then does it even matter if they were to use oil rated for 23 C at 37 C? Or what if they used Zeiss 37 C oil instead?

Thanks!
Kyle
