Antibodies bind to the antigens on the surface of disease agents. If some sort of fluorescent tag is added to the antibody it would make the disease agent be identifiable either under a microscope or with other Instruments because it would bind to the antigens on the surface of the disease agents and make them glow a certain color. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.

The given data is Magnification, M = 15

Length of the tube , L = 16 cm

The focal length of the lens can be calculated by:

M = L/F

Substituting the value, we get:

15 = 16/f

f = 16/15

f = 1.067 cm

Using the equation of magnification we get,

M = v/u

Substituting the values we get:

15 = v/u

v = 15 u

With the help of lens formula, calculate the object distance:

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

Substituting the value we get,

1/1.067 = 1/15u + 1/u

0.937 = 1.067/u

u = 1.13 cm or 1.1 cm.

Hence, the object distance is 1.1 cm.
