My boss uses Nikon oil on Nikon & Zeiss scopes with no problems. I heard bad stories about cross-contamination (oil combining to form sticky mess) but never tested it.

We now have Nikon, Zeiss and Leica microscopes in our facility. Is the problem of cross-contamination of immersion oil real or hypothetical? Is it possible to use a single type of immersion oil for all, so that we don't have to worry about moving samples between microscopes? Dave
