Immersion Oil Solubility & Compatibility

 

Some useful information listed on the sheet is:
DF oil soluble in: Acetone, Carbon Tetrachloride, Ethanol, Ethyl Ether, Freon TF, Heptane, methylene Chloride, Naphtha, Toluene, Turpentine, Xylene.
Choose one that does not also dissolve your lens cements.
DF oil ( and I would expect others) is incompatible with: Polycarbonate, Polystyrene, Neoprene Rubber, and Tygon.
This is good to know when using oils and home built chambers.

Tom
