• Graticule with mesh (3)
• Graticule with co-ordinate grid
are measured using the graticules with measuring
pitches, e.g. 12mm : 120 or 5mm : 100.
cells, nuclei and the suchlike within one particular area
can be undertaken using the grid plate with mesh.
When calibrating with the stage micrometer, the value of
an interval is defined on the eyepiece grid plate in
relation to the specimen magnification.
can be taken with the aid of the graticule with
co-ordinate grid and the angular division on the rotary
polarisation table.
Please refer to the instrument’s directions for use
with regard to using the graticule in eyepieces. Two
adjustable eyepieces are required for equipment
with measuring graticules so that the sharpness can
be set precisely.
If you take digital photographs with your stereomicroscope or macroscope, we would recommend
the Leica IM image archiving and image management
software with measuring module for interactive
measuring, inscribing and marking.

Co-ordinate the eyepieces precisely to your eyes as
described until you can clearly see the graticule and
specimen at the same time (free from parallax).
Set distance from eye,
eyepieces, illumination etc.
as described in the
instrument’s directions
for use.
Set «0» diopters on both
eyepieces.
Illuminate field of vision without specimen.
Do not look into the eyepieces.
Turn eyepiece with graticule
anticlockwise until it reaches
the stop.
Look into the eyepieces
Slowly turn eyepiece with
graticule clockwise until you can
clearly see the measurement lines.
• No longer adjust eyepiece
with grid plate.
Place test specimen (e.g. stage
micrometer) under the lens.
