En microscopía óptica, la inmersión (generalmente en aceite, aunque también se puede efectuar en agua o con medios sólidos) es una técnica utilizada para aumentar el poder de resolución de un microscopio. Esto se consigue mediante la immersión en un aceite transparente de alto índice refractivo tanto de la lente del objetivo como del espécimen a observar, aumentando así la apertura numérica de la lente del objetivo.

Los aceites de inmersión son sustancias transparentes con las propiedades ópticas y las características de viscosidad necesarias para su uso en microscopía. Los aceites típicos utilizados suelen tener un índice de refracción de alrededor de 1,515.1​ Un objetivo de inmersión es una lente especialmente diseñada para ser utilizada de este modo. Muchas lentes condensadoras también proporcionan una resolución óptima cuándo están inmersas en aceite.

El primero en desarrollar está técnica a mediados del siglo XIX fue el óptico italiano Giovanni Battista Amici (1786-1863).

Which DNA fingering technique examines the length variation of DNA repeat sequences in human DNA?
DiKsa [7]

Answer: The question is incorrect, below is the correct question

Which DNA FINGERPRINTING technique examines the length variation of DNA repeat sequences in human DNA?

The correct answer to the question is option D

mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) analysis

Explanation: DNA fingerprinting technique is a laboratory technique used by geneticists.it entails placing of DNA samples into wells,these wells are then placed in a slab of gels and thereafter passing a current through the gel.This is done to ascertain the uniqueness of a DNA pattern and thus be able to differentiate people of same species.

There are several methods of DNA fingerprinting as outlined in the options given with the question.

In mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) analysis,The Genetic samples are extracted from the biological materials, these samples extracted are total genomic DNA like hair,tooth or samples of blood, Several copies of these genomic DNA are then produced using a polymerase chain reaction and flanking primers inorder to examines the length variation of DNA repeat sequences in human DNA.
