    Abstract: A method for producing an image of an object within a chamber of a microfluidic device includes providing the microfluidic device having x, y, and z dimensions and a chamber depth center point located along the z dimension. The chamber depth center point is located a known z dimension distance from a fiducial marking embedded within the microfluidic device. The method also includes placing the microfluidic device within an imaging system that includes an optical device capable of detecting the fiducial marking. The optical device defines an optical path axially aligned with the z dimension and has a focal plane perpendicular to the optical path. When the focal plane is moved along the optical path, the fiducial marking is maximally detected when the focal plane is at the z depth in comparison to when the focal plane is not substantially in-plane with the z depth.

    Abstract: Methods are provided for selective tagging of short nucleic acids comprising a short target nucleotide sequence over longer nucleic acids comprising the same target nucleotide sequence. The methods can involve performing one or two cycles of amplification of a sample comprising long nucleic acids and short nucleic acids, each comprising the same target nucleotide sequence with at least two target-specific primers or primer pairs under suitable annealing conditions, wherein the primer pairs comprise: an inner primer or primer pair that can amplify the target nucleotide sequence on long and short nucleic acids (wherein each inner primer comprises a 5′ nucleotide tag; and an outer primer or primer pair that amplifies the target nucleotide sequence on long nucleic acids, but not on short nucleic acids); whereby the amplification after a second cycle produces at least one tagged target nucleotide sequence that comprises two nucleotide tags, one from each inner primer, with the target nucleotide sequence located between the nucleotide tags.
