MA738 Grain sizing Eyepiece Reticle for Steel Eyepiece micrometer. Eyepiece micrometer, for grain sizing in steel, 25mm diameter.

The micrometer is mounted in one of the two eyepieces and superimposes an image of the markings over the image of the specimen. Stage micrometers are slides with markings of a known dimension that, when viewed under the microscope, can be used to calibrate eyepiece micrometers.

Since the size of the eyepiece micrometer image (e.g. a linear scale) appears the same even though the specimen can be magnified to a greater or lesser degree, the markings on the micrometer do not by themselves indicate any particular measurement. When a stage micrometer with known dimensions is viewed through an eyepiece micrometer, however, the measurement indicated by the eyepiece micrometer at that magnification can be noted and later used to make accurate measurements. microscope micrometer

Dimensions given are the actual size of the markings on the micrometer disc. Eyepieces for our various models require micrometers of different diameters. The model numbers listed below refer to microscopes with standard 10x eyepieces. If you are using optional eyepieces of different magnifications and do not see them listed, contact us to find out the correct size.
