Why is 100x microscope lens called oil immersion lens?

Because that lens (it does not HAVE to be a 100x lens - other lens magnifications are also available in oil immersion constructions) is made to be in contact with a drop of special oil which covers the specimen. The oil has the same index of refraction as the front lens glass and that way a different optical construction can be used.
